INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DRAIN CUP INSTALLATION AND USE
Yourairconditionerusesasystemwherethewater
removedfromtheindoorair(condensate)ischanneled
to the outdoor side of the unit. The outdoor fan blade
has a “slinger” ring attached to it that dips into the water
and slings the water onto the outdoor coil surface. This
is the sound of water you hear during normal operation.
Thewaterquicklyevaporatesonthiswarmsurface
andimprovestheeciencyofyourairconditioner.In
normal conditions the unit can evaporate the water as
fast as it is removed from the indoor air.
However, in very humid conditions excess amounts of
watermaydripotheunitchassis.Ifthisprovestobe
a problem, install the condensate drain cup included
with the unit to route excess water where it will not be a
problem(seeillustration).
To install, remove the unit chassis from the outer case.
Insert the condensate drain cup through the recessed
½ʺholeonthebackcenteroftheoutercase.Once
inserted, place a ½ʺ diameter hose or tube on the drain
cup bottom spout. The hose allows you to route where
you want the excess water to go. Reinsert the unit
chassisintotheoutercase.Theunitbasepanoverow
hole will be positioned directly above the drain cup and
will catch any water that might run out.

WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD!
Replace two shipping screws on both sides of cabinet
for grounding purposes. Failure to do so can result in
death or electrical shock.
Operatingyourairconditionerproperlywillhelpyou
obtain the best possible results.
This section explains proper air conditioner operation.
IMPORTANT:
• Ifyouturnotheairconditioner,waitatleast3
minutesbeforeturningitbackon.Thisprevents
the air conditioner from blowing a fuse or tripping a
circuitbreaker.
• Donottrytooperateyourairconditionerinthe
cooling mode when outside temperature is below
61°F(16°C).Donottrytooperateyourair
conditioner in the heating mode when outside
temperatureisover86°F(30°C).Theinside
evaporatorcoilwillfreezeup,andtheairconditioner
will not operate properly.
NOTE: In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner
will operate at the previous settings when the power is
restored.

HEAT Mode - Room Heat Pumps
Heatpumpsworkbymovingheatinsteadofcreatingit.Inthesummer,
the cool indoor coil absorbs heat from your room and moves it outdoors,
providing cooling. In the winter, heat pumps reverse this operation. By
lowering the temperature of the outdoor coil below the outdoor temperature,
the heat pump absorbs the heat from outdoors and moves it inside your
house.Thisheattransferringprocessisveryecient.Forexample,at45°F
outdoor temperature, a heat pump can provide 2½ watts of heat for every
watt of electricity it consumes.
Asoutdoortemperaturesdrop,theheatingcapacityandeciencyoftheheat
pumpdeclines.Attemperaturesbelow45°F,itislikelythaticewillformon
the outdoor coil. Heat pump units are designed to operate as a heat pump
above approximately 40°F. Below 40°F, these units switch automatically from
reversecycleheatpumptoauxiliaryelectricheating.Nodefrostisrequired.
There is no minimum operating temperature.

CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION
Cleanairconditioneroccasionallytokeepitlookingandoperatinglikenew.
Be sure to unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.
NOTE: Iftheairlterscreenisblockedbydust,theperformanceoftheunitwillbeaected,theunitwillbelouderthan
normal,andpowerconsumptionwillincrease.Therefore,periodiccleaningoftheairlterscreenisnecessary.
NOTE: The life of your unit may be greatly reduced if you live in a salty air or other corrosive type environment. Under
these conditions, the unit should be removed from its case and completely cleaned at least once a year. At that time, any
scratches or blisters on the painted surfaces should be sanded and repainted. Placing an algaecide tablet in the outdoor
side of the unit’s base pan is suggested in humid areas where algae formation is common.
CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
Cleantheairlterscreenthroughouttheoperationalseason.It
isrecommendedthattheairlterscreenbecleanedonceevery
twoweeksusingthemethodbelow:
1.Grasplterhandleandslidelteroutofunit.
2.Cleantheairlterscreen.Iftheairlterscreenisverydirty,
youmayuselukewarmwater(about86ºF/30ºC)tocleanit.
Allow it to completely air dry before returning it to the unit.
NOTE: DO NOTuseboilingwatertocleanthescreen;DO NOT
pull or push on the screen with too much force.
3.Installtheairlterscreen.Slidetheairlterbackintogrille.If
theairconditionerisoperatedwithoutanairlterscreen,the
interior of the unit will be contaminated with dirt which may
cause performance failure or damage to parts.
4. Clean the air conditioner.
•Useasoft,dryclothtowipetheairconditioneroruseavacuumcleanertodothecleaning.
•Iftheairconditionerisverydirty,youmayuseaclothsoakedwithmildhouseholddetergenttodothecleaning.
BEFORE THE SEASON
1. Checktoseeifanythingisblockingtheairinletandfrontgrille.
2. Ensure the bottom of the unit is not corroded or rusty.
3. Ensure the plug is not damaged.
4. Cleantheairlter.
5. Connecttoanappropriateoutletwithsucientpower.Seeproductstickerforinformation.
6. Load fresh batteries into the remote control.
AFTER THE SEASON
1. Pressthepowerbutton.Setthetemperatureto86ºF(30ºC)andletthemachineruninCOOLmodeforhalfaday.
Makesureanysignsofcondensationontheoutsideoftheunitarewipedowithasoft,dry,cleancloth.
2. Turnotheunit.Unplugtheunitduringnon-operationalseasonstosaveenergyandforsafetyreasons.
3. Cleantheairlterscreenandinstallitbackinplace.
