It is your personal responsibility to be sure your air conditioner:

l Has been properly installed.

l Is the right size for the area you want to cool.

l Is properly connected and grounded to electrical supply.

l Is used only for the job it was intended to do.

lIs not used by children or anyone unable 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.

Important:

Please read this Use & Care Guide before install- ing or using your air conditioner. It tells you how to install and operate it, and gives important electrical information. Save it for future use in case you have a question or move the air conditioner.

Personal Injury Hazard

The metal fins on the coils are sharp. Han- dle the air conditioner with care. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

Electrical requirements are different for the two models pictured on the cover, depending on the ampere rating of your unit. The number of amperes is printed on the serial plate, which is attached to the front of the unit behind the front panel (see diagram on page 12).

Observe all local governing codes and ordinances.

Do not, under any circumstances, remove the power supply cord grounding prong.

Receptaclewiring

Receptacle wiring should be a minimum of 14 gauge. Use copper wire only. It is the personal responsibility of the consumer to provide proper and adequate receptacle wiring installed by a qualified electrician. Observe National Electrical Code and all local governing codes and ordinances.

Electrical Shock Hazard

l Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the power supply cord plug - if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed

by a qualified electrician. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock.

l Do not use an extension cord with this appliance. Such use may result in a fire, electrical shock or other personal injury.

. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit. This could result in a

risk of electrical shock.

A 115 volt, 60 Hz AC only, 15 ampere fused elec- trical supply is required (time delay fuse or time delay circuit breaker required). It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only this appliance, be provided for models with serial plate amperes up through 7.5. A separate circuit is required

for models with serial plate amperes of 7.6 through 12.0.

Electricalconnection

Electrical ground is required on this appliance.

Recommended grounding method

Grounding prong

Temporary grounding method

If changing and properly grounding the wall recep- tacle is impossible and where local codes permit (consult your electrical inspector), a temporary adapter may be plugged into the existing 2-prong wall receptacle to male with the 3-prong power supply cord. This, however, is not recommended.

If this is done, however, you must connect the grounded eyelet on the adapter to the wall recep- tacle cover plate screw and from this same screw, you must connect a separate copper ground wire (#14 minimum) to a grounded cold water pipe.

???Do not ground to a gas supply pipe. Do not connect to electrical supply until appliance is grounded. Do not, under any circumslances, remove the power supply cord grounding prong. *Cold water pipe must have metal continuity to electrical ground and not be interrupted by plas- tic, rubber or other electrically insulating connec- tors (including water meter or pump) without adding a jumper wire at these connections.

16. For installation In windows having no slde flanges or with wood stops.

The flanges (top and two sides) on the air condi- tioner must mate against companion flanges on the window, not more than 1/16??? (.2 cm) in thickness. On the side with the opened sash, the leading edge of the sash becomes the flange. On the top and jamb side of most metal windows, the flange is there.

In windows where there are no flanges or where there are thick wood flanges or stops, use metal angles or wood to provide a stop for the unit flange. Diagrams at left show three suggested methods.

17. For installation in steel casement windows.

Follow Steps 2 and 3 on page 5. NOTE: In Step 3, the shelf labs must butt to the front of the bottom angle on the casement (see diagram

at leff).

When Step 3 is finished, follow Steps 4 through 10 on page 6, and Steps 11 and 12 on page 7. Then proceed with the final two para- graphs in this Step 17, which immediately follow.

Open window at least 16O???to allow room for unit cabinet. If necessary, remove window crank handle so the window will open wide enough and not interfere with shelf against the bottom sill angle. Tie opened window to the wall or frame to prevent the window from swinging.

Drill V?????? holes in the window jamb top to line up with holes in filler frame (see diagram at left). Use two thread cutting screws (Item 13) to secure unit. If you need additional holding strength, add screws at the bottom of the unit side channels (see Step 13 diagram).

the lever at the top of the grille to the right, left or straight ahead. Simply move the lever in the direction you want the air to go. The rear vertical louvers in the grille can be adjusted left, right or straight ahead. The front set is fixed and directed upward.

If your unit looks like Figure B, turn the circular air discharge grilles on top of the unit Both grilles can be adjusted to the right or left, or ad- justed individually.

Annual maintenance for your air conditioner

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

Call the service company recommended by your dealer to:

lInspect 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 annual inspection is customer???s responsibility.

-OR-

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

nals. Failure to follow the above precau- tions could result in personal injury.

1.Disconnect power supply.

2.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.

3.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 col- lect dirt, sand, leaves, insects or algae. Also, clean if you detect an odor from the air condi- tioner. While the cabinet is open, this is a good time to oil the fan motor.

4.Remove plastic film from motor and electrical parts.

5.Replace unit in cabinet.

6.Reconnect power supply.

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

Personal Injury Hazard

l Because your air conditioner weighs from 70 to 105 pounds, it is recommended that you have someone help you wtien you remove and reinstall your unit and that you both use proper lifting techniques.

l Handle the air conditioner with care. Watch out for the sharp metal fins on the front and rear coils.

l Do not use the collected water for drinking purposes. It is not sanitary.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wesuggestyoufollow thesefivesteps:

1. Before calling for assistance...

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.

Air conditioner won???t run:

lIs unit plugged into a live circuit with proper voltage?

l Is switch turned on?

. Is thermostat set correctly?

. Have you checked your home???s main fuses or circuit breaker box?

l Has the time-delay fuse blown? l Has the local power failed?

Unit blows fuses:

l Are time-delay fuses being used?

l Is an extension cord being used? (Do not use an extension cord to run your air conditioner.)

l Are you waiting two minutes after turning cooling circuit off before trying to restart unit?

Unit turns on and off, or does not cool room: l Is filter clean?

l Are coils clean (both evaporator [inside] and condenser [outside])?

l Is there excessive moisture or heat (open vessel cooking, showers, etc.)?

l Try setting fan to higher speed.

l Try setting thermostat to a cooler settng.

Operating sounds:

l When your room air conditioner is operating normally, you will hear sounds such as:

l Droplets of water hitting the condenser, caus- ing a ???pinging??? or ???clicking??? sound. Water droplets help to cool the condenser.

l Air movement from the fan, especially on high fan speed setting.

l Clicks from the thermostat cycle.

l Sounds also may be caused by house construc- tion - such as vibration of the unit due to wall construction or unsteady window mounting area.
