Also, remove theie Energy Label. Use a damp cloth to take offf any glue residue. DO NOT use sharp instruments, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleanersers. . These can damage the material.

1.Set Exhaust Control to CLOSED for maximum cooling performance.

(See ???Usingthe exhaust vent control??? on page 6.)

2.Set the Selector Control to the desired setting.

COOL-for cooling the room air HEAT-for heating the room air FAN ONLY-for circulating rmrn air without cooling or heating it

3.Set the Fan Control to the desired setting. You can use either the ENERGY SAVER or NORMAL FAN settings. (See ???Usingthe energy saver settings??? below.) LOW - for sleeping comfort

MED - for normal cooling

QUICK COMFORT - for fastest cooling NOTE: This product is not designed to be used as a primary heat source. It is intended for supplemental heating only. HEAT mode operation is not recom- mended when the outdoor temperature is below 45??F.

4.Turn the Thermostat Control to a mid-setting. You can adjust the air conditioner???s cooling performance by turning the Thermostat Control toward COOLER for more cooling or toward WARMER for less cooling. You will need to experiment to find the setting which suits you best.

Electrical Shock Hazard

l Plug unit only into grounded electrical outlet.

l Do not use an extension cord.

l Do not operate unit with the front panel removed.

Failure to follow the above precautions could result in electrical shock or personal injury.

IMPORTANT: If you turn the air conditioner off, or if the compressor turns off when you lower the Thermostat Control, wait at least 3 minutes before turning the air conditioner back on. If you don???t wait, you may blow a fuse or trip a circuit breaker.

Proper care of your air conditioner helps ensure longer life of the unit and lower operating c&ts. Follow these instructions carefully .

Electrical Shock Hazard

l Unplug the power cord from the recep- tacle before cleaning the unit.

l Do not use cleaning fluids, solvents, abrasive cleaners, or strong detergents on the air conditioner.

Failure to follow the above precautions could result in electrical shock, personal injury, or product damage.

Cleaning the slide-out

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 by sliding it up and out the top of the front panel.

2.Clean filter using a vacuum cleaner.

OR

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

3.Replace filter by sliding it back down into opening at top of front panel.

Filter

Your air conditioner needs annual mainte- nance to ensure steady, top performance throughout the year. Call the service com- pany recommended by your dealer to:

l Inspect and clean the coils and condensate water passages.

l Check fan and fan motor.

The compressor and fan motor are sealed and need no oiling. The expense of an annual inspection is the consumer???s respon- sibility.

OR

If you are familiar with electrical appliances, you can do the inspection and maintenance yourself. If you choose to do so, follow these steps:

1.Disconnect power cord from receptacle.

2.Remove the front panel. (See ???Cleaning the front panel??? on page 7.)

3.Slide unit out of cabinet using the handles on the base flange

4.Be careful not to break off or remove white or gray beaded foam parts. Some are marked ???Donot remove.???

Electrical Shock Hazard

l Unplug power cord from receptacle before performing any maintenance. Be sure no liquid gets into the motor, electrical control box, or compressor electrical terminals.

l Do not lift, push, or pull any white or gray beaded foam (expanded polysty- rene) parts.

l Because your air conditioner weighs from 80 to 200 pounds, it is recom- mended that you have someone help you when you remove or 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.

Failure to follow the above precautions could result in electrical shock, personal injury, or product damage.

4.Wrap the motor, electrical control box, and the compressor terminal box in plastic film to make sure no water or other liquid gets inside. Water or other liquids could damage the insulation and cause serious mechanical problems.

5.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 coming from the air conditioner.

6.Remove plastic film from motor and electrical parts.

7.Replace unit in the cabinet.

8.Replace the front panel.

9.Plug in the power cord.

NOTE: It is a good idea to wait i4 hours before starting the unit again. This allows time for all areas to dry thoroughly. The water from rainfall or from normal opera- tion does not harm the components.

Saving energy

l Improve your home???s insulation. Seal all doors and windows. Close the fireplace flue.

l Close blinds or drapes on the sunny side of the house. Add window awnings.

l Keep the air filter clean.

l Do not block the airflow from the air conditioner with drapes or furniture.

l Ventilate the attic. High temperatures in the attic add to the cooling load.

Han???dle (some models have 2 handles)

l Try not to use heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.

l Turn lights and appliances off when not needed.

l Keep heat registers and cool-air returns closed.

l Use exhaust venting fans while cooking, doing laundry, or bathing.
