INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Window Preparation
Please read all instructions prior to installing your air conditioner. Two people are recommended to install this product. If
a new electrical outlet is required, have the outlet installed by a qualified electrician before installing the unit.
Before installing the unit, check the dimensions of your window to make sure the air conditioner will fit. This unit is made
to fit inside a standard double-hung window. Make sure the window is in good shape and able to firmly hold the needed
screws. If not, make repairs prior to installing the unit.

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. 2).
Board or wood piece must
Storm window frame
be approximately 1/2” higher
or obstruction
than the storm window frame
for proper drainage
Prior to Installing the Air Conditioner
1. Check for anything that could block airflow. Check the area outside of the window for things such as shrubs, trees, or
awnings. Check the inside area to make sure curtains, drapes, or blinds will not prevent proper airflow.
2. Check the available electrical outlet. The power supply must be the same as shown on the unit serial nameplate
(located on the left side of the unit, near the front faceplate). Be sure the outlet is close enough for the power cord to
reach.
3. Carefully unpack the air conditioner. Remove all packing material and make sure the floor is protected when remov-
ing. Due to the large size of this air conditioner, two people should move the unit together.
When handling the unit, be careful to avoid cuts from
the sharp metal edges and aluminum fins on the front
and rear coils.

Cabinet Cleaning
To clean the air conditioner cabinet:
CARE AND CLEANING
Clean your air conditioner to keep it looking new
and to minimize dust build up.
•
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.
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:
•
•
Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on
the cabinet front.
Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth
before wiping around the controls. Excess
water in or around the controls may cause
damage to the air conditioner.
1. Remove the filter by pulling down on the in-
dents of the filter door on the front of the unit.
(See FIG. 13)
2. Wash the filter using liquid dish soap and
warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gen-
tly shake the filter to remove excess water.
Winter Storage
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.
To store the air conditioner when it is not in use
