and in conformance with the National Electrical Code,  
ANSI/NFPA 70 - latest edition, and all local codes and  
ordinances.  
LCDI Power Cord and Plug  
This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) power cord and plug as  
required by US National Electric Code 440.65. This cord consists of a length of shielded flexible cord with no termination  
on the load side and a LCDI attachment plug on the line side.  
The LCDI power cord and plug will remove the supply source via electrical disconnect (circuit trip) if the nominal current  
leakage between the cord shield and either load conductor exceeds a predetermined value. The cord will remain de-  
energized until the devise has been manually reset. This is intended to reduce the risk of a fire in the power cord or  
combustible materials nearby. The cord shields are not grounded and they must be considered a shock hazards if  
exposed. The cord shield must not be connected to ground or to any exposed metal.  
The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if  
the plug is functioning properly. To test the plug:  
1. Plug power cord into a wall outlet  
2. Press the TEST Button, the circuit should trip and cut all  
power to the air conditioner  
3. Press the RESET button for use  
If a test is performed and the indicator light remains ON, the  
current leakage has been detected. Do not use the air  
conditioner or attempt to reset the LCDI Plug. Contact Customer  
Service for troubleshooting recommendations.

INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS  
Some assembly is required for your new air conditioner. Please read and follow these instructions carefully.  
1. This air conditioner is designed to be installed in a  
FIG. 1  
standard double-hung window with a window width  
between 23” and 36” (584 mm - 914 mm).  
2. The air conditioner can be installed without the  
accordion panels to fit in a narrow window opening.  
See the window dimensions.  
3. The Lower Sash (the lower part of the window that  
moves up and down) must allow for 14.5” of vertical  
clearance when open. (See FIG. 1).  
4. All supporting parts must be secured to firm wood,  
masonry, or metal.  
5. The electrical outlet must be within reach of the power  
cord.  
NOTE: Save the product packaging and installation instruc-  
tions for future reference. Store the air conditioner in the  
product box when not in use for an extended period of time.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION (CONT.)  
Storm Window Requirements  
Accordion Panel Installation  
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 ap-  
proximately 1/2” higher than the storm window frame. This  
will allow the air conditioner to tilt enough for proper drain-  
age. (See FIG. 2).  
Now that you have installed the top rail, you can now install  
the accordion panels on each side.  
1. Place the air conditioner on a hard flat surface.  
2. Locate the accordion panels in the box.  
3. Gently pull the free end of the accordion panel (See  
FIG. 2). Do this for both panels.

Placing the Unit Inside a Window  
1. Place the air conditioner on the sill with the bottom  
mounting rail against its back edge. Center the air con-  
ditioner and close the window securely behind the top  
mounting rail. The air conditioner should be slightly  
tilted to the outside area. Use a level; about a 1/3 bub-  
ble will be the correct case slant to the outside. (See  
FIG. 5 & FIG. 6)  
5. Once the accordion panels are slid into place adjust  
the top and bottom rails of the accordion panels into  
the top and bottom rails of the air conditioner (See FIG.  
4).

cord.  
2. Remove the sash seal from between windows, and  
unscrew sash lock.  
3. Remove the screws installed through the frame and  
frame lock.  
4. Close (slide) the side panels into frame.  
5. Keeping a firm grip on air conditioner, raise the sash  
and carefully “rock” air conditioner backward to drain  
any condensate water in base of unit. Be careful not to  
spill any remaining water while lifting unit from window.

Operating Your Air Conditioner  
USING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER  
Manual Control Panel  
1. Power: Turn on the unit by rotating the  
MODE dial to the desired setting.  
2. Cooling Mode: For maximum cooling set the  
MODE dial to “HIGH COOL”. In HIGH COOL  
mode, the fan will automatically go to high.  
This will help circulate the cool air throughout  
the room. The fan will operate on low in “LOW  
COOL” mode  
3. Fan Mode: For fan only modes, choose  
either HIGH FAN or LOW FAN. The air  
conditioner will not cool the room when in fan  
mode.  
4. Thermostat: Turn the TEMP dial to set the  
desired room temperature. For maximum  
cooling turn the TEMP dial to 7 (coolest).  
5. Directional Louvers: To direct the airflow,  
rotate the small vertical louver wheel next to  
the air vent on the front of the air conditioner  
LOUVER WHEEL  
NOTE: To minimize wear and tear on the air  
conditioner, always wait at least 3 minutes before  
changing modes. This will help prevent the  
compressor from overheating and the circuit  
breaker from tripping.  
Normal Operating Sounds  
You may hear a pinging noise caused by water hitting  
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 compres-  
sor cycles on and off.  
Water will collect in the base pan during rain or days of  
high humidity. The water may overflow and drip from  
the outside part of the unit.  
The fan may run even when the compressor is not on.

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 sliding it out from the  
front right side of the air conditioner. (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.
