BEFORE YOU USE YOUR

AIR CONDITIONER

It is your responsibility to make sure that 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.

For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding type wall receptacle, grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

ALTERNATE GROUNDING METHOD

If changing and properly grounding the wall receptacle 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 mate with the 3-prong power supply cord. See Figure 2. THIS,

HOWEVER, IS NOT RECOMMENDED.

If this is done, you must connect the grounded eyelet on the adapter to the wall receptacle cover plate screw and from this same screw, you must connect a separate copper ground wire (#I4 minimum) to a grounded cold water pipe.* See Figure 2. Do not ground to a gas supply pipe. Do not connect to electrical supply until appliance is permanently grounded.

CAUTION:

Be sure air conditioner does not fall out of window during installation.

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

4l Remove poly-foam block by pushing at top until bottom can be grasped with hand to pull from cabinet (see Figure 4). Be careful not to damage cabinet insulation.

5. Install plastic drain-cup spout (on cabinets with side louvers only) into hole at rear of cabinet. (See Figure 4.) Spout should be facing downward through hole.

8. Ground unit to cabinet by using green ground wire attached to left-front corner of unit base and in lower left-hand corner of cabinet. Fasten wire securely to cabinet using hex head screw and nut (see Figure 6).

6. Remove paper backing from 3 seal strips and attach them to the top flange as well as to the right and left side of unit (see Figure 5).

7l Install unit into cabinet. First, check tubing. Realign tubing if it is rubbing adjacent tubes or extending outside the flange of base unit. Now slide unit into cabinet until it rests against rear embossed stops (see Figure 4). Be careful not to push against sharp fins and plastic parts.

Figure 5 /SEAL STRIP7

10l Remove protective wrapping from control panel. Place control panel in position and insert control knobs through holes in control panel and onto control shafts (see Figure 7).

3l Turn thermostat control to Number 6 (mid- setting). You can adjust the air conditioner???s per- formance by resetting the thermostat control to a higher number for maximum cooling. Lower the number setting for less cooling. You will need to experiment to find the setting which suits you best.

ChangingAir Direction

The louvers in the grille area at the top of the air conditioner control the direction of the cooled air.

Move the tabs at the bottom of the grille to the right, left or straight ahead. Simply move the levers in the direction you want the air to go (see Figure 8).

Cleaning Air Conditioner Filter

The filter is cleanable. A clean filter helps remove dust, lint and other particles from the air. Check every two weeks to see if filter needs cleaning.

1. Remove filter from plastic front frame, by removing elastic band which holds it in place (see Figure 10).

2. Clean filter, using a vacuum cleaner.

Cleaning and Caring For Your

Air Conditioner

Proper use and care of your air conditioner will help insure longer life and lower operating costs. Follow these instructions carefully. Call your dealer for an annual checkup.

Cleaning of Front Frame

1. Remove the front panel from unit when cleaning. Press down at top edge of the front as shown in Figure 9.

2l When front moves away from top of cabinet, pull top of front toward you.

3. Lift up and away from bottom spring clips.

3 l If very dirty, wash filter with warm water and mild detergent. Air dry thoroughly before replacing.

4 l Clean front frame with warm water and mild soap or detergent. Use a soft cloth. Rinse and dry. Replace front frame.

5. Wipe control panel clean with a soft dry cloth.

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 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:

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.

2l 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.

30Remove plastic film from motor and electrical parts.

40Replace unit in cabinet.

NOTE: It???s a good idea to wait 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.

1l Oil the fan motor per instructions on the motor. To add oil, pull out the oil hole plug at each end of the motor. (See Figure 11).

An easy to use one-ounce capsule of especially recommended oil (Part No. 10943) can be orderd

from your dealer, or use SAE #20 non-detergent oil.

2l Replace the plug to keep dirt from motor bearings.

3. Reinstall the unit in cabinet after performing maintenance. (See Installation Instructions.)

Operating sounds:

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

lDroplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a ???pinging??? or ???clickina??? sound. Water droolets

help to cool the condenser.

lAir movement from the fan, especially on high fan speed setting.

l Clicks from the thermostat cycle.

2.Sounds also may be caused by house construction

-such as vibration of the unit due to wall construc- tion or unsteady window mounting area.
