Help us help you

Please:

Install the air conditioner in a window that will

hold the weight and secure lt in accordance

with the Installation Instructions.

Connect the air conditioner only to the proper

kind of outlet with the correct electrical supply

and grounding. (See the Installation Instruc-

tions.)

Be sure the air conditioner is the correct size for

the area you want to cool.

Use the air conditioner only for its intended

purpose.

Be sure the air conditioner is not used by

anyone unable to operate it properly.

Maintain the air conditioner properly.

Also, remove the Energy Label and Buy Guide.

Use a damp cloth to take off any glue residue. Do

not use sharp instruments, flammable fluids or

abrasive cleaners. These can damage the

material.

Operating Your Air

Conditioner

In order to obtain the best possible results from your air conditioner, it is important that you operate it

properly. This section will tell you how to do justthat.

Starting your air conditioner

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug unit only into grounded electrical outlet.

Do not use an extension cord.

Do not operate unit with front panel removed.

Failure to follow the above precautions could

result in electrical shock or personal injury.

1. Set Fan Control to the desired setting.

QUIET COOL ..................... for sleeping comfort

REGULAR COOL .................for normal cooling

MAX COOL ......................for maximum cooling

FAN ONLY ....................for circulating room air

when no cooling is desired

2. Turn the Thermostat Control to the desired

setting. You can adjust the air conditioner’s

cooling performance by turning the Thermo-

stat Control clockwise for more cooling or

counterclockwise for less cooling. You will

need to experiment to find the setting which

suits you best.

NOTE: If you turn your air conditioner off or if the

compressor turns off when lowering the Thermo-

stat Control, wait at least 3 minutes before

turning it back on. Doing this keeps the air

conditioner from blowing a fuse or tripping a

circuit breaker.

Proper maintenance of your air conditioner will

help ensure longer life and lower operating costs.

This section will tell you how to clean your air

conditioner and perform annual maintenance.

You can always call your authorized WhirlpoolSM

servicing dealer for an annual check-up.

Electrical Shock and Fire Hazard

Unplug power cord from receptacle before

cleaning unit. Failure to do so could result

in electrical shock or personal injury.

Do not use flammable fluids, solvents,

abrasive cleaners or strong detergents.

Fire or product damage could result.

Cleaning the front panel

Unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the front panel from unit for

cleaning. Press down at top of front panel to

release it from the top of the cabinet.

3. Pull top of front panel toward you.

4. Lift front panel up and away from the bottom

spring clips.

5. Remove the slide-out air filter and clean

separately. (See “Cleaning the slide-out air

filter” on page 7.)

NOTE:

The front panel does not have to be

removed to clean filter.

6. Clean front panel with warm water, mild

soap or detergent and a soft cloth. Rinse

and dry thoroughly.

7. Wipe control panel clean with a soft, dry

cloth.

9. Replace the front panel. Locate bottom of

panel on the spring clips. Press down on top

edge of front panel and push it toward the

unit to secure the upper tabs.

9. Replace slide-out air filter.

10.

Plug in the power cord.

Cleaning the slide-out air filter

The filter is cleanable. A clean filter helps remove

dust, lint and other particles from the air. Check

every two weeks to see if fitter needs cleaning.

1. Remove filter by sliding it up and out the top of

the front panel.

2. Clean filter using a vacuum cleaner.

If very dirty, wash filter with warm water and

mild detergent. Air dry thoroughly before

replacing.

3. Replace filter by sliding it back down into

opening at top of front panel.

Performing annual maintenance

Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance

to help ensure steady, top performance through-

out the year.

Call the service company recommended by

your dealer to:

Inspect and clean the coils and condensate

water passages.

Check fan and fan motor.

The compressor is sealed and needs no oiling.

Expense of annual inspection is the customer’s

responsibility.

If you are familiar with electrical appliances, you

can do the cleaning and maintenance yourself. If

you choose to do so, follow the steps on page 8.

Electrical Shock, Product Damage and

Personal Injury Hazard

Unplug power cord from receptacle before

performing any maintenance. Be sure no

liquid gets into the motor, electrical control

box or compressor electrical terminals.

Do not lift, push or pull any white beaded

foam (expanded polystyrene) parts.

Because your air conditioner weighs from 80

to 110 pounds, it is recommended that you

have someone help you when you remove

and re-install your unit and that you both use

proper lifting techniques.

. Handle the air conditioner with care. Watch

out for the sharp, metal fins on the front and

rear coils.

Do not use the collected water for drinking

purposes. It is not sanitary.

Failure to follow the above precautions could

result in electrical shock, product damage or

personal injury.

1. Unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the front panel. (See “Cleaning the

front panel” on page 6.)

3. Remove the unit from the window.

4. Remove the side curtains. Slide curtains out

to their fullest width. From the back side,

remove the Phillips-head screws which

attach the curtains to the cabinet. (See A in

illustration.)

5. Remove the slotted, hex-head screws

holding the top channel. (See B in illustra-

tion.)

6. Remove slotted, hex-head screws on sides

of cabinet. (See C in illustration.)

7. Holding the cabinet on both sides, carefully

lift cabinet off base.

8. Wrap the motor, electrical control box and

compressor terminal box in plastic film to

make sure no water or other liquids get

inside. Water or other liquids could damage

the insulation and cause serious mechanical

problems.

9. Clean and hose out the base, coils and

condensate pans. Clean air conditioner at

least once a year or more often if the

condenser coils and pans collect dirt, sand,

leaves, insects or algae. Also, clean the air

conditioner if you detect an odor coming

from it.

10. Remove plastic film from the motor and

electrical parts.

11. Replace unit in cabinet. Reattach the top

channel and side curtains. Tighten all

screws.

12. Reinstall air conditioner in the window.

13. Replace the front panel.

14. Plug in the power cord.

NOTE: It is a good idea to wait 24 hours before

starting the air conditioner again. Doing so allows

time for all areas to dry thoroughly.

The water from rainfall or from normal opera-

tion does not harm the motor or electrical parts.

Understanding normal operating sounds

When your air conditioner is operating normally,

you will hear sounds such as:

9 Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing

a “pinging” or “clicking” sound. Water droplets

help to cool the condenser.

Air movement from the fan, especially on high

fan speed settings.

Clicks from the thermostat cycle.

Sounds also may be caused by house construc-

tion-such as vibration of the unit due to wall

construction or unsteady window mounting area.

Saving energy

You can help save energy by following the tips

below.

Improve your home’s insulation. Seal all doors

and windows. Close the fireplace flue.

Close all blinds and drapes on sunny sides of

the house. Add window awnings.

Keep the air filter clean.

Do not block the airflow with drapes or furniture.

Ventilate the attic. High temperatures in the

attic add to the air conditioner’s cooling load.

Try not to use heat-producing appliances during

the hottest part of the day.

Turn off lights and appliances when they are

not needed.

Keep heat registers and cool-air returns closed.

Use exhaust venting fans when cooking, doing

laundry or bathing.
