Unit
Window
Requirements
1.
To
prevent
vibration
and
noise,
make
sure
the
unit
is
installed
securely
and
firmly
2.
Install
the
unit
where
the
sunlight
does
not
shine
directly
on
the
unit.
3.
The
outside
of
the
cabinet
must
extend
outward
for
at
least
14"
and
there
should
be
no
obstacles,
such
as a
fence
or
wall,
within
20"
from
the
back
of
the
cabinet
because
it
will
prevent
heat
radiation
of
the
condenser.
Restriction
of
outside
air
will
greatly
reduce
the
cooling
efficiency
of
the
air
conditioner.
CAUTION:
All
side
louvers
of
the
cabinet
must
remain
exposed
to
the
outside
of
the
structure.xz
4.
Install
the
unit
at
a
slight
incline
so
the
back
is
slightly
lower than
the
front(about
1/4").
This
will
force
condensed
water
to
flow
to
the
outside.
5.
Install
the
unit
with
the
bottom
about
30"~60"
above
the
floor
level.
1.
These
instructions
are
for
a
horizontal
sliding
or
a
casement
window.
2.
The
electrical
outlet
must
be
within
reach
of
the
power
cord.
For
installation
in
a
casement
window,
the
window
frame
assembly
and
the
side
of
the
building
must
be
adequate
to
support
the
weight
of
the
air
conditioner.

vary
widely,
it
is
advisable
to
have
the

installed
by
someone
skilled
in

IMPORTANT
(PLEASE
READ
CAREFULLY)
FOR
THE
USER'S
PERSONAL
SAFETY,
THIS
APPLIANCE
MUST
BE
PROPERLY
GROUNDED
The
power
cord
of
this
appliance
is
equipped
with
a
three-prong(grounding)
plug.
Use
this
with
a
standard
three-slot(grounding)
wall
power
outlet(Fig.
10)
to
minimize
the
hazard
of
electric
shock.
The
customer
should
have
the
wall
receptacle
and
circuit
checked
by
a
qualified
electrician
to
make
sure
the
receptacle
is
properly
grounded.
DO
NOT
CUT
OR
REMOVE
THE
THIRD(GROUND)
PRONG
FROM
THE
POWER
PLUG.
A.
SITUATIONS
WHERE
THE
APPLIANCE
WILL
BE
DISCONNECTED
ONLY
OCCASIONALLY:
Because
of
potential
safety
hazards,
we
strongly
discourage
the
use
of
an
adapter
plug.
However,
if
you
wish
to
use
an
adapter,
a
TEMPORARY
CONNECTION
may
be
made.
Use
UL-listed
adapter,
available
from
most
local
hardware
store(Fig.
11).
The
large
slot
in
the
adapter
must
be
aligned
with
the
large
slot
in
the
receptacle
to
assure
a
proper
polarity
connection.
CAUTION:
Attaching
the
adapter
ground
terminal
to
the
wall
receptacle
cover
screw
does
not
ground
the
appliance
unless
the
cover
screw
is
metal,
and
not
insulated,
and
the
wall
receptacle
is
grounded
through
the
house
wiring.
The
customer
should
have
the
circuit
checked
by
a
qualified
electrician
to
make
sure
the
receptacle
is
properly
grounded.
Disconnect
the
power
cord
from
the
adapter,
using
one
hand
on
each.
Otherwise,
the
adapter
ground
terminal
might
break.
DO
NOT
USE
the
appliance
with
a
broken
adapter
plug.
B.
SITUATIONS
WHERE
THE
APPLIANCE
WILL
BE
DISCONNECTED
OFTEN.
Do
not
use
an
adapter
plug
in
these
situations.
Unplugging
the
power
cord
frequently
can
lead
to
an
eventual
breakage
of
the
ground
terminal.
The
wall
power
outlet
should
be
replaced
by
a
three-slot(grounding)
outlet
instead.
USE
OF
EXTENSION
CORDS
Because
of
potential
safety
hazards,
we
strongly
discourage
the
use
of
an
extension
cord.
However,
if
you
wish
to
use
an

Common
Issues
?
You
may
hear
a
pinging
noise
caused
by
water
being
picked
up
and
thrown
against
the
condenser
on
rainy
days
or
when
the
humidity
is
high.
This
design
feature
helps
remove
moisture
and
improve
efficiency.
?
You
may
hear
the
thermostat
click
when
the
compressor
cycles
on
and
off.
?
Water
will
collect
in
the
base
pan
during
high
humidity
or
on
rainy
days.
The
water
may
overflow
and
drip
from
the
outdoor
side
of
the
unit.
?
The
fan
may
run
even
when
the
compressor
does
not.
Troubleshooting
Tips
Save
time
and
money!
Review
the
chart
below
first
and
you
may
not
need
to
call
for
service.
Problem
Possible
Causes
What
To
Do
The
air
conditioner
is
unplugged.
The
fuse
is
blown/circuit
breaker
is
tripped.
Power
failure.
Airflow
is
restricted.
The
TEMP
Control
may
not
be
set
high
enough.
The
air
filter
is
dirty.
The
room
may
have
been
hot.
Cold
air
is
escaping.
Cooling
coils
have
iced
up.
Ice
blocks
the
air
flow
and
stops
the
air
conditioner
from
cooling
the
room.
?
Make
sure
the
air
conditioner
plug
is
pushed
completely
into
the
outlet.
?
Check
the
house
fuse/circuit
breaker
box
and
replace
the
fuse
or
reset
the
breaker.
?
If
power
failure
occurs,
turn
the
mode
control
to
Off.
When
power
is
restored,
wait
3
minutes
to
restart
the
air
conditioner
to
prevent
tripping
of
the
compressor
overload.
?
Make
sure
there
are
no
curtains,
blinds,
or
furniture
blocking
the
front
of
the
air
conditioner.
?
Turn
the
knob
to
a
higher
number.
The
highest
setting
provides
maximum
cooling.
?
Clean
the
filter
at
least
every
2
weeks.
See
the
care
and
maintenance
section.
?
When
the
air
conditioner
is
first
turned
on
you
need
to
allow
time
for
the
room
to
cool
down.
?
Check
for
open
furnace
floor
registers
and
cold
air
returns.
?
Set
the
air
conditioner's
vent
to
the
closed
position.
