GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The electrical requirements are a 115 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only the product be provided. The
product is equipped with a 3-wire cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. It must
be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. The cord provided with this appliance is equipped with a
grounding wire and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.
Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting o the third grounding prong
in order to accommodate a two prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since
it provides no eective grounding for the air conditioner and may result in shock
hazard.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if:
1) The grounding instructions are not completely understood.
2) You are unsure that the appliance is properly grounded.
3) You have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions.
POWER SUPPLY CORD
1. Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. Have a qualified electrician or serviceman to install an
outlet near the appliance.
2. If it is absolutely necessary to use longer cord sets or an extension cord,
extreme care must be exercised.
a) Use only a grounding type 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
appliance.
b) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord must equal
to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table
top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE: Neither BLACK+DECKER nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the
product or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection
procedures.

HOW TO INSTALL
NOTE: Top rail and sliding panels at each side are oset to provide the proper pitch to
the rear of 5/16”. This is necessary for proper condensed water utilization and
drainage. If you are not using the side panels for any reason, this pitch to the
rear must still be maintained.
1. Place unit on floor, a bench or a table. There is a left and right window filler panel -
be sure to use the proper panel for each side. When installed, the flange for securing
the panel in place to the window sill will be facing into the room.
A. Hold the accordion panel in one hand and gently pull back the center to
free the open end.
B. Slide the free end of the panel into the cabinet. Slide the panel down. Be
sure to leave enough space to slip the top and bottom of the frame
into the rails on the cabinet. (See Fig. 5)
C. Once the panel has been installed on the side of the cabinet, make sure it
sits securely inside the frame channel by making slight adjustments.
Slide the top and bottom ends of the frame into the top and bottom rails
of the cabinet. (See Fig. 6)
D. Slide the panel all the way in and repeat on the other side.
NOTE: Once installed, the accordian panel cannot be removed without detaching the

CARE AND CLEANING
Clean your air conditioner to keep it looking new and to minimize dust build up.
AIR FILTER CLEANING
The air filter should be checked at least once every month to see if it needs cleaning.
Trapped particles and dust can build up in the filter and may decrease airflow as well
as cause the cooling coils to accumulate frost. To clean the air filter:
1. Remove the filter by pulling down on the indents of the
filter door on the front of the unit (See Fig. 15).
2. Wash the filter using liquid dish soap and warm water.
Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gently shake the filter to
remove excess water.
3. Let the filter dry completely before placing it into
the air conditioner.
4. If you do not wish to wash the filter, you may
vacuum the filter to remove the dust and other particles.
WEAR AND TEAR
To minimize wear and tear on the air conditioner, always wait at least 3 minutes
before changing modes. This will help prevent the compressor from overheating and
the circuit breaker from tripping.
CABINET CLEANING
To clean the air conditioner cabinet:
• Unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or a fire hazard. The cabinet and front
panel of the air conditioner may be dusted with an oil free cloth or washed with a
cloth dampened in a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap. Rinse thoroughly
with a damp cloth and wipe dry.
