Recommended grounding method  
This air conditioner must be grounded. This air conditioner is  
equipped with a power supply cord having a grounded 3 prong  
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be  
plugged into a mating, grounded 3 prong outlet, grounded in  
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet  
is not available, it is the customer's responsibility to have a  
properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrical  
installer.  
It is the customer's responsibility:  
I
To contact a qualified electrical installer.  
I
To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in  
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 -  
latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING  
Excessive Weight Hazard  
Use two or more people to move and install  
air conditioner.  
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.  
A. Test button  
B. Reset button  
Remove packaging materials  
This room air conditioner is equipped with a power supply cord  
required by UL. This power supply cord contains state-of-the-art  
electronics that sense leakage current. If the cord is crushed, the  
electronics detect leakage current and power will be  
disconnected in a fraction of a second.  
I
Remove and properly dispose of packaging materials.  
Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning  
on the air conditioner. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap  
over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water  
and dry.  
I
I
Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable  
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These  
products can damage the surface of your air conditioner.  
WARNING  
Handle air conditioner gently.  
1. Locate provided bag of pan-head screws.  
2. Place the top channel on top of the air conditioner, lining up  
the holes in top channel with the holes on top of air  
conditioner.  
Electrical Shock Hazard  
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.  
Do not remove ground prong.  
Do not use an adapter.  
3. Using 3 - #10 x ³⁄₈" pan-head screws, attach top channel to  
air conditioner.

To test your power supply cord:  
1. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.  
2. Press RESET.  
3. Press TEST (listen for click; Reset button will trip and pop  
out).  
4. Press and release RESET (listen for click; Reset button will

The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to trip when  
the test button is pressed or fails to reset.  
I
I
Do not use the power supply cord as an off/on switch. The  
power supply cord is designed as a protective device.  
A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new  
power supply cord obtained from the product manufacturer  
and must not be repaired.  
I
The power supply cord contains no user serviceable parts.  
Opening the tamper-resistant case voids all warranty and  
performance claims.

AIR CONDITIONER USE  
Operating your air conditioner properly helps you to obtain the  
best possible results.  
I
Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode  
when outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C). The inside  
evaporator coil will freeze up, and the air conditioner will not  
operate properly.  
This section explains proper air conditioner operation.  
IMPORTANT:  
I
If you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least 3 minutes  
before turning it back on. This prevents the air conditioner  
from blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.  
NOTE: In the event of a power failure, your air conditioner will  
operate at the previous settings when the power is restored.

The current air conditioner replaced an older model. The  
use of more efficient components may cause the air  
conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total  
energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do  
not emit the blastof cold air you may be accustomed to  
from older units, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling  
capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and  
capacity rating (in BTU/hr.) marked on the air conditioner.

Replacement air filters  
Heavy-duty cover  
A good, clean air filter is important for best cooling with least  
energy consumption. Your air filter should be cleaned regularly.  
See Cleaning the Air Filterfor cleaning instructions. We suggest  
you replace your air filter once a year.  
For a new electrostatic air filter, order Part Number 1187197.  
Airborne particles are attracted to an electrostatic air filter and  
remain attached to it until they are rinsed away. For a new  
antimicrobial air filter, order Part Number 1187389. In addition to  
providing all the benefits of an electrostatic air filter, an  
antimicrobial air filter also inhibits the growth of odor-causing  
bacteria, fungi, mold and mildew on the filter. Both of these air  
filters are sized to fit your air conditioner.  
If you decide to leave your air conditioner installed during the  
winter, a heavy-duty cover will help protect your air conditioner  
and reduce drafts. The outdoor cover protects against cold drafts  
through the unit's air passages and protects the cabinet from  
snow, rain, sleet, rust, and dust.  
For a heavy-duty outdoor cover sized to fit your air conditioner,  
order Part Number 484069.  
For a heavy-duty indoor cover sized to fit your air conditioner,  
order Part Number 4392941.
