Tools Needed
How to Install the Unit
- To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the unit is installed securely and firmly.
- Install the unit where the sunlight dose not shine directly on the unit.
- The outside of the cabinet must extend outward for at least 12" 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.
4 Install the unit slightly tilted so the back is slightly lower than the front (about 1/2"). This will force condensed water to flow to the outside.
5 Install the unit with the bottom between 30" ~60" above the floor level.
Window Requirements
- This unit is designed for installation in standard double hung windows with actual opening widths from 27" to 39". The top and bottom window sashes must open sufficiently to allow a clear vertical opening of 16" from the bottom of the upper sash to the inside sill.

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
WARNING Before cleaning or performing maintenance, disconnect the power supply and wait until the fan stops.
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
- 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.
