OWNER’S MANUAL AIR CONDITIONER

INSTALLATION

Installation Overview

Accessories

Tools Needed

Window Requirements

• This unit is designed for installation in standard double hung windows with actual opening widths from 22" to 36".

The top and bottom window sashes must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 13" from the bottom of the upper sash to the inside sill.

NOTE: This prodcut is a WINDOW AIR CONDITIONER. As such, a standard single-hung or double-hung window is required for proper installation. No-window installations, including using sleeves, holes in walls, and other installations are not recommended.

Clearance

Proper clearance enhances the cooling efficiency of the product.

1. If a storm window presents interference, fasten a 2” wide wood strip to the inner window sill across the full width of the sill. The wood strip should be thick enough to raise the height of the window sill so that the unit can be installed without interference by the storm window frame.
2. (See drawing.) The top of the wood strip on the inside sill should be approximately ¾” higher than the storm window frame or wood strip on the outside sill to help condensation to drain properly to the outside.
3. If necessary, install a second wood strip (same thickness as first strip) in the center of sill flush against the back off the inner sill. This will raise the L bracket as shown in the drawing.

Preparation of Chassis

1. Insert the guide panels into the upper and bottom guide. Fasten the curtains to the unit with 4 type A screws on each side.

2. Cut the window sash seals to the proper length. Peel off the backing and attach the Foam-PE(Adhesive backed) to the underside of the window sash and bottom of window frame.

3. Open the window and mark center line on the center of the inner sill.

4. Install the L bracket behind the inner window sill, with short side of bracket as shown. Use the 2 Type A screws provided.

Unit Installation

1. Set the air conditioner in the window so that is centered. Place the air conditioner so that front edge of the bottom guide is against the back edge of the sill.

Bring the window down so that the front edge of the upper guide is in front of the window. Make sure that air conditioner is level or tilting slightly to the outside.

2. Extend the guide panels to fill the window opening using 4 Type B screws to secure them.

3. Cut the foam strip to the window width. Stuff the foam strip between the glass and the window to prevent air and insects from getting into the room. Fasten the L bracket using a Type A screw.

NOTE: Fasten the remaining L bracket to the outer window sash with 1 type A screw as shown.

4. Remove the screw form the right side of cabinet. Fasten the support bracket using a removed from the air conditioner cabinet. Attach the support bracket to the inner window sill with a Type B screw.

5. Cut the adhesive-backed heatproof foam to match the size of the curtain panels. Remove the backing from the heatproof foam and attach it to the curtain panels.

NOTE: Heatproof foam improves the cooling capability of the air conditioner

NOTE: See the 'Electrical Data' section for information on attaching the power cord to an electrical outlet.

OPERATION

Control Panel and Remote Control

1. Power

Press to turn the air conditioner ON or OFF.

2. Fan Speed

Press to set the fan speed to Low (F1), Medium (F2), or High (F3).

3. Delay ON/OFF Timer

Delay ON - When the air conditioner is off, set it to automatically turn on from 1 to 24 hours later, at its previous mode and fan settings.

Delay OFF - When the air conditioner is on, set it to automatically turn off from 1 to 24 hours later.

NOTE: Each press of the Timer button advances the timer by 1 hour. After the last press the display returns to the temperature setting.

4. Operation Mode

Press the Mode button to cycle between 4 types of air conditioner operation: Energy Saver / Cool / Fan / Dry.

Energy Saver - In this mode the compressor and fan turn off when the set temperature is achieved. Approximately every 3 minutes the fan turns on to allow the unit sensor to accurately determine if more cooling is needed.

Cool - This mode is ideal on hot days to cool and dehumidify the room quickly. Use the Temp buttons to set the desired room temperature and use the Fan Speed button to set the desired fan circulation speed.

Fan - In this mode the fan circulates air but the compressor does not run. Use the Fan Speed button to set fan speed to High, Medium or Low. In this mode, you cannot adjust the set temperature.

Dry - This mode is ideal for rainy and damp days to dehumidify the room rather removed from the room by the combination of compressor operation and the fan speed off once the set temperature is reached. Fan speed cannot be adjusted in Dry mode.

5. Wi-Fi

Enables connection of the air conditioner to the home Wi-Fi.

6. Clean Filter

The Clean Filter LED lights up to notify you that the filter needs to be cleaned. After cleaning the filter, press Temp and together on the control panel to turn off the Clean Filter light.

7. Temperature Control

The thermostat monitors room temperature to maintain the desired temperature. The thermostat can be set between 60 °F–86 °F (16 °C–30 °C). Press or arrows to increase or decrease temperature setting.

NOTE

• Auto Restart: If the air conditioner turns off due to a power outage, it will restart automatically once the power is restored, with the same settings as were set before the unit turned off.
• Energy Saver: The unit defaults to the Energy Saver mode each time the unit is switched on except in Fan mode or when power is restored after an electrical power outage.

Additional Features

Slinger Fan

This air conditioner is equipped with a slinger fan. (See drawing.)

The fan’s outer ring picks up the condensed water from the base pan if the water level gets high enough. The water is then picked up by the fan and expelled through the condenser, making the air conditioner more efficient.

MAINTENANCE

Air Filter

Check the air filter at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and block the airflow. reducing cooling capacity and causing an accumulation of frost on the evaporator.

Cleaning the Air Filter

1. Remove the air filter from the front grille by pulling the filter forward and then up slightly.

2. Wash the filter using lukewarm water below 40 °C (104 °F).

3. Gently shake the excess water from the filter and replace

Cleaning the Air Conditioner

• Wipe the front grille and inlet grille with a cloth dampened in a mild detergent solution.
• Wash the cabinet with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water, then polish using liquid appliance wax.

NOTE

• To ensure continued peak efficiency, the condenser coils (outside of unit) should be checked periodically and cleaned if clogged with soot or dirt from outside air.
• For repair and maintenance, contact an Authorized Service Center. See the warranty page for details or call 1-800-243-0000. Have your model number and serial number available. They should be written on page 26 of this manual.
