LCDI POWER CORD AND PLUG
This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and
Interruption) power cord that is requiredby UL This power supply cord contains state-
of-the-art electronics that sense leakage current If the cord is damaged and leakage
occurs, power will be disconnected from the unit
The LCDI power cord and plug will remove the supply source via electrical disconnect
(circuit trip) if the nominal current leakage between the cord shield and either load
conductor exceeds a predetermined value The cord will remain deenergized until the
device has been manually reset This is intended to reduce the risk of a fire in the power
cord or combustible materials nearby The cord shields are not grounded and they must
be considered a shock hazards if exposed The cord shield must not be connected to
ground or to any exposed metal
The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if the plug is functioning
properly
TO TEST THE PLUG:
• Plug power cord into a wall outlet
• Press the TEST Button, the circuit should trip and cut all power to
the air conditioner
• Press the RESET button for use
If a test is performed and the indicator light remains ON, the current
leakage has been detected Do not use the air conditioner or attempt
to reset the LCDI Plug Contact Customer Service for troubleshooting

instructions carefully
• This air conditioner is designed to be installed in a standard double-hung window
with a window width between 23" and 34" (584mm-863 mm)
• The air conditioner can be installed without the accordion panels to fit in a narrow
window opening See the window dimensions
• The Lower Sash (the lower part of the window that moves up and down) must
allow for 14 5" of vertical dearance when open (See Fig 1)
• All supporting parts must be secured to firm wood, masonry, or metal
• The electrical outlet must be within reach of the power cord
• The air conditioner should be tilted about 3° for better drainage of condensate and
rainwater
NOTE:Save the product packaging and installation instructions for future reference
Store the air conditioner in the product box when not in use for an extended period of
time

ENGLISH
Top Rail Assembly
The top rail must be assembled prior to installing the air conditioner in the window
Tools Needed: Phillips Head Screw Driver
Attaching the Top Rail to the Air Conditioner
• Remove the air conditioner from the box and place on a hard and flat surface
• Remove top rail from the top of the packaging material as shown in Fig A
• Align the hole in the top rail with those in the top of the unit as shown in Fig B
• Secure the top rail to the unit with the 3/8" screws as shown in Fig C
CAUTION
When handling the unit, be careful to avoid cuts from the sharp metal edges
and aluminum fins on the front and rear coils
Top Rail (With sponge) *1
3/8"Screws *4
NOTE: For safety reasons, all 4 screws must be used to attach the top rail

ENGLISH
Accordion Panel Installation
Now that you have installed the top rail, you can now install the accordion panels on
each side
• Place the air conditioner on a hard flat surface
• Locate the accordion panels in the box
• Gently pull the free end of the accordion panel (See Fig 2) Do this for both panels
• Slide the free end of the accordion panel into the side panel of the air conditioner
(See Fig 3) Do this for each side
• Once the accordion panels are slid into place adjust the top an d bottom rails of the
accordion panels into the top and bottom rails of the air conditioner (See Fig 4)
10
ENGLISH
Storm Window Requirements
A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to tilt properly which in turn
will keep it from draining properly
To adjust for this, attach a board or piece of wood to the sill The board or wood
piece should have a depth of at least 1-1/2" Make sure the board or piece of wood
is approximately 1/2" higher than the storm window frame This will allow the air
conditioner to tilt enough for proper drainage (See Fig 5)
Placing the Unit Inside a Window
• Place the air conditioner on the sill with the bottommounting rail against its back
edge Center the air conditioner and close the window securely behind the top
mounting rail The air conditioner should be 3° slightly tilted to the outside area
Use a level, about a 1/3 bubble will be the correct case slant to the outside (See
FIG 6 & FIG 7) (It is suggested to keep a downward angle to let accumulated rain
water drain out from the back side of the unit bottom )
11
ENGLISH
• Once the air conditioner is placed, extend both the le and right accordion panels
to the width of the window
Frame Lock, Sash Lock, and Foam Seal Installation
Mounting Hardware
Tools Needed:
1 Phillips Head Screw Driver
2 Drill (if plot holes are needed)
• Place the frame lock between the extended accordionpanels and the window sill
as show in Fig 9 Screw a 3/4" (19mm) locking screw through the frame lock anc
into the window sill (Fig 10)
12
ENGLISH
• Drive 1/2" screws into the top of the accordion panel frame and the top rail to
securely attach the window air conditioner to the lower sash (See Fig 11 Fig 12)
• To secure the lower sash into place, use the sash lock and a 3/4" screw as shown
below (See Fig 13)
• For added insulation, cut the supplied insulation foam to the width of the window
Insert the foam between the window sashes to prevent air and obj ects from
getting into the room (See Fig 14)
13
ENGLISH

ENGLISH
3. Installation Safety
1) Refrigerant Leak Detector
2) Appropriate Installation Location
3) The le picture is the schematic diagram of arefrigerant leak detector
Please note that:
• The installation site should be in a well-ventilated condition
• The sites for installing and maintaining an air conditioner using Refrigerant R32
should be free from open fire or welding, smoking, drying oven or any o ther heat
source higher than 548°C which easily produces open fire
• When installing an air conditioner, it is necessary to take appropriate anti-static
measures such as wear anti-static clothing and/or gloves
• It is necessary to choose the site convenient for installation or maintenance
wherein the air inlets and outlets of the indoor and outdoor units should be
not surrounded by obstacles or close to any heat source or combustible and/or
explosive environment
• If the indoor unit suers refrigerant leak during the installat ion, all the personnel
should go out till the refrigerant leaks completely for 15 minutes If the product is
damaged, it is a must to carry such damaged product back to the maintenance
station and it is prohibited to weld the refrigerant pipe or conduct other operations
on the user's site
• It is necessary to choose the place where the inlet and outlet air of the indoor unit
is even
• It is necessary to avoid the places where there are other electrical products, power
switch plugs and sockets, kitchen cabinet, bed, sofa and other valuables right
under the lines on two sides of the indoor unit, and also prevent mechanical
