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.

conditioner is lost or interrupted, the air condi-  
tioner will automatically re-start in the setting last  
used prior to power loss. If the Timer was set to  
automatically turn the air conditioner off or on, it  
will resume countdown at the amount time left  
prior to power loss. You may need to set a new  
time if desired.  
Make sure nothing is blocking the remote con-  
trol signal from being received by the air con-  
ditioner.  
Make sure the batteries are installed correctly  
and still have power.  
Cooling Mode: Use the COOL mode at Low, Me-  
dium, High, or Auto Fan speed when cooling is  
needed. Use the temperature /buttons to set  
the desired temperature between 61°F and 86°F.

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  
for an extended period of time, remove it care-  
fully from the window according to the installation  
instructions and cover it with plastic or place it in  
the original box  
.
FIG. 13  
Wear and Tear  
To minimize wear and tear on the air condi-  
tioner, always wait at least 3 minutes before  
changing modes. This will help prevent the  
compressor from overheating and the circuit  
breaker from tripping.
