Important Safety  
Instructions  
For Your Safety  
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of  
this or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.  
Prevent Accidents  
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air  
conditioner, follow basic precautions, including the following:  
Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen. This  
information can be found on the serial plate, which is located either on the side  
of the cabinet or behind the grille.  
If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to  
clean both sides of the glass first. If the window is a triple-track type with a  
screen panel included, remove the screen completely before installation.  
Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to  
the separate installation instructions provided with this manual. Save this manual  
and the installation instructions for possible future use in removing or reinstalling  
this unit.  
Avoid fire hazard or  
• When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins  
on front and rear coils.  
electric shock. Do not use an extension  
cord or an adaptor plug. Do not remove  
any prong from the power cord.  
Electrical Information  
The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated on the  
serial plate. Refer to the rating when checking the electrical requirements.  
Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire  
hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a  
three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.  
Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the  
wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a  
time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper  
receptacle.  
Grounding type  
w all receptacle  
Do not, under  
any circumstances,  
cut, remove,  
or bypass the  
grounding prong.  
• Do not run air conditioner with outside protective cover in place. This could result  
in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.  
• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.  
• Do not block air flow inside w ith blinds, curtains or furniture; or  
outside w ith shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.  
The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and  
satisfactory operation.  
Energy Saving Ideas  
Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that  
faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.  
• Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape  
up the chimney and into the duct work.  
Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the  
day.  
• Clean the air filter as recommended in the section “Care and Cleaning.”  
• Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air out  
and cool air in.  
External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air  
conditioners work load.  
• Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and  
dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.

the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.  
Care and Cleaning  
Air Filter Cleaning  
The air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary.

the cooling coils.  
• Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.  
• Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse filter  
thoroughly. Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is thoroughly  
dry before replacing.  
• Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the filter clean.  
Cabinet Cleaning  
Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and  
front may be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened in a  
solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and  
wipe dry.  
• 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.  
• Plug in air conditioner.  
Winter Storage  
If you plan to store the air conditioner for the winter, cover it with plastic or return it to  
the original carton.  
NOTE: To prevent rust or electrical connections from being damaged, store air  
conditioner in an upright position and a dry place. A winter cover can be  
purchased from your dealer. The cover will protect the air conditioner when it is left in  
place through the winter.
