SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of
fire, electric shock or personal injury.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as
described in this Owner’s Manual.
This air conditioner must be properly installed in accordance
with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight
out from the receptacle.
Replace immediately all electric service cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. A
damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a
new power supply cord obtained from the manufacturer
and not repaired. Do not use a cord that shows cracks
or abrasion damage along its length or at either the
plug or connector end.
Turn the unit OFF and unplug your air conditioner
before cleaning.
For your safety…do not store or use combustible
materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors or
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
If the receptacle does not match the plug, the receptacle
must be changed out by a qualified electrician.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
RISK OF FIRE. Could cause serious injury or death.
DO NOT use an extension cord with this air
conditioner.
DO NOT use surge protectors or multi-outlet
adaptors with this air conditioner.
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety,
this appliance must be properly grounded.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Power cord includes a current interrupter device. A test
and reset button is provided on the plug case. The device
should be tested on a periodic basis by first pressing the
TEST button and then the RESET button while plugged
into the outlet. If the TEST button does not trip or if the
RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the
air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your
personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The air conditioner should always be plugged into its
own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating
that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a
fire hazard from overheated wires.
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical
Requirements section for specific electrical connection
requirements.

Additional Features
The “Cool” circuit has an automatic 3 minute delayed
start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents
overheating of the compressor and possible circuit
breaker tripping. The fan will continue to run during this
time.
There is a 2 second delay for the compressor to stop
when selecting FAN ONLY/HEAT. This is to cover the
possibility of having to roll through to select another
mode.
The control will maintain the set temperature within 1°F
between 62°F and 86°F in cool or heat mode (on some
models).
After a power outage, the unit will remember last setting
and return the unit to that setting when power is restore.
Air Direction
Air directional louvers control air flow direction.
The louvers will allow you to direct the air flow up or down
and left or right throughout the room as needed until the
desired left/right direction is obtained. Pivot horizontal
louvers until the desired up/down direction is obtained.

IMPORTANT: When installation is complete, replacement
unit MUST have a rearward slope as shown.
2. Remove old air conditioner from wall sleeve and
prepare wall sleeve as follows:
Clean interior (do not disturb seals).
Wall sleeve must be securely fastened in wall
before installing air conditioner. Drive more nails or
screws through sleeve, into wall, if needed.
Repair paint if needed.
3.
If not pre-existing, drill a 1/8” hole to attach the supplied
grounding wire to the left side of the wall sleeve (see
approximate hole location dimensions in the illustration
below). Use the toothed washer and pointed screw to
attach one end of the supplied green striped ground
wire to the inside of the wall sleeve. The toothed
washer must be between the eyelet of the wire and the
wall sleeve. BE CAREFUL TO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
THE SCREW. Pull loose end of ground wire out front

Direct Unit Mounting:
The previous directions are the preferable way to mount the new rear grille. The units performance is slightly
better and the possibility of drafts is reduced. As a last resort, direct mounting of the grille to the unit can be
considered.
NOTE: The grille must be installed prior to inserting the unit into the sleeve.
1. Attach the 2 seal pieces (1” x 3/8” x 14”) as shown in the illustration.
2. Position the grille over the rear of the unit making sure that:
a. The double set of screw holes are at the bottom.
b. The fins of the grille are pointed away from the unit.
3. Align the top of the grille with the top of the unit. The overhang on each side should be equal.
4. If the unit has not been pre-drilled (some models), carefully drill (4) 1/8” holes through the grille and into the
side flange of the unit approximately 1-1/2” to 2” from the top and bottom as shown.
5. Install 4 #8 self-tapping screws to affix the grille to the unit.
6. Insert the unit into the sleeve.
