BEFORE YOU USE YOUR

AIR CONDITIONER

It is your responsibility to make surethat your air conditioner:

l Has been properly installed.

lIs the right size for the area you want to cool.

l Is properly connected to electricity.

l Is properly electrically grounded.

lIs properly used only for the job it was intended to do.

l Is not used by children or anyone not able to operate it properly.

l Is properly maintained.

l Also, remove energy label and buy guide. Use damp cloth to take off any glue residue. Do not use a sharp instrument or any harsh or abrasive cleaners.

Energy SavingTips

l Improve home insulation (seal doors, windows, and close fireplace flue).

l Close blinds or drapes on sunny side of house; add window awnings.

lKeep air filter clean. Don???t block air flow with drapes or furniture.

l Ventilate attic (high temperature levels add to normal cooling load).

l Try not to use heat producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. Turn lights, radios, televisions, and other appliances off when not needed.

l Keep heat registers and cool air returns closed or blocked off so cooled air won???t escape.

lUse a vent fan in areas where cooking, laundry, or bathing is done to pull out extra heat and moisture near its source.

1l Unpack mounting parts before installing your air conditioner. Make sure you have all the necessary parts (see Figure 3). A normal installation can be made with a screwdriver, saw, small level, pocket knife, tape measure, drill and %???, 9&??? and 3/16??? drill bits.

Description of Parts

If using Item 13 for fastening Item10 or 12 to metal or plastic, use 9/64-in. die. or #26 drill.

2l Pick the right window. First, decide what room(s) you want to cool. Then choose a window that will allow the air-conditioned air to flow freely and directly into the room(s) you want cooled. Remember, it???s difficult to move air around corners. If the inner sliding window slides to the left, the unit will be installed on the right. Remove window screen if there is one. Choose a sliding window that???s also near an electrical outlet. (Refer to the ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT page for type of receptacle and wiring needed.) Do not use an extension cord. The sliding window in which you place your air condi- tioner should have an opening of at least 15-l/2??? wide and 21 -l/4??? to 40.7/8??? high (see Figure 4). For installations up to 62. l/4??? high, a special kit (Part No. 977449) is available. For windows as low as 20.7/16???, you must install without filler frame and remove top angle on unit, reinstalling 3 screws into top of cabinet.

This model may also be installed in steel hinged casement windows. The steel hinged case- ment window must have an opening at 15-l/2??? wide and no more than 16-l/2??? wide.

Annual Maintenance for Your

Air Conditioner

Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help insure steady, top performance throughout the year.

:__

Call the service company recommended by your dealer to:

l Inspect and clean the coils and condensate water passages.

l Check fan and oil the fan motor.

l The compressor is sealed and needs no oiling.

Expense of annua! inspection is customer???s responsibility.

- or -

If you are familiar with electrical appliances, you can do the cleaning and maintenance yourself. Ifs you decide to go ahead, follow these steps:

1l REMOVE UNIT FROM CABINET. Wrap the motor, electrical control box and electrical terminals box in plastic film and make sure no water or other liquid gets inside any of these parts. It could damage the insulation and cause serious trouble.

2. Carefully clean and hose out the base, coils and condensate pans. Clean at least once a year or more often if the condenser coils and pans collect dirt, sand, leaves, insects or algae. Also, clean if you detect an odor from the air conditioner. While the cabinet is open, this is a good time to oil the fan motor.

3l Remove plastic film from motor and electrical parts.

4 . Replace unit in cabinet.

NOTE: It???s a good idea to wait 24 hours before starting the unit again. This aliows time for all areas to dry out. The water from rainfall or from normal operation does not harm these components.
