SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
•This air conditioner must be
properly installed in accordance
with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
•Repair or replace immediately
all electric service cords that have
become frayed or otherwise
damaged.
•Unplug your air conditioner
before making any repairs.
NOTE:
We strongly recommend
that any servicing be performed by
a qualified individual.
HIGH COOL, MED COOL
and
LOW COOL
provide
cooling with different fan speeds.
HIGH FAN
and
LOW FAN
provide air circulation
and filtering without cooling.
NOTE:
If you move the switch from a cool setting to
OFF or to a fan setting, wait at least 3 minutes
before switching back to a cool setting.
The thermostat control is used to maintain
the room temperature. The air conditioner will
cycle on and off to keep the room at the same
level of comfort. The higher the number
selected, the cooler the indoor air will become.

SELECTOR CONTROL THERMOSTAT CONTROL
When the vent control is set at closed, only
the air inside the room is circulated, cooled
and filtered.
When set at open, some indoor air will be
exhausted from the room. This will reduce the
cooling effect.
Two levers on each side of the grille let you
control the air direction left or right.
Fingertip pressure on the tabs adjusts the air
direction up or straight ahead.
DO NOT adjust the louvers down any lower than
straight out.
Air that is blown down will affect
the thermostat, causing the air conditioner to
turn off before the room is cooled.

To remove: Lift the top of the
filter and gently pull it up.
The filter can be washed in warm
soapy water. Rinse and let the filter
dry before replacing it.

Important Notes
The 230/208-volt models require
their own single branch circuit sup-
plying 230/208-volt a.c., protected
with a time delay fuse or circuit
breaker.
This is recommended for best
performance and to prevent over-
loading house wiring circuits,
which could cause a possible fire
hazard from overheating wires.

•These instructions are for a
standard double-hung window.
You will need to modify them for
other types of windows.
•The air conditioner can be
installed in a window with an
opening width as narrow as 263⁄4″
but only if the left- and right-hand
side seals are not installed.
•All supporting parts should be
secured to firm wood, masonry
or metal.
•The electrical outlet must be
within reach of the power cord.
Do not use an extension cord.
Window
Requirements
A storm window frame will not
allow the air conditioner to tilt
towards the outside and will keep it
from draining properly. To adjust
for this, attach a piece of wood to
the stool.
WOOD PIECES:
WIDTH:
2″
LENGTH:
Long enough to fit inside
the window frame.
THICKNESS:
To determine the
thickness, place a piece of wood on
the stool to make it 1/2″higher
than the top of the storm window
frame.
Attach securely with nails or screws.
