For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock  
or personal injury.  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Use this appliance only for its intended  
purpose as described in this Owner’s  
Manual.  
Turn the mode control to OFF and unplug  
your air conditioner before making any  
repairs or cleaning.  
OpeagIructions  
This air conditioner must be properly  
installed in accordance with the Installation  
Instructions before it is used.  
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any

combustible materials, gasoline or other  
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity  
of this or any other appliance.  
Repair or replace immediately all electric  
service cords that have become frayed or  
otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that  
shows cracks or abrasion damage along its  
length or at either the plug or connector end.  
laIructions  
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY  
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove  
the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For  
personal safety, this appliance must be properly  
grounded.  
The air conditioner should always be  
plugged into its own individual electrical  
outlet which has a voltage rating that matches  
the rating plate.  
The power cord of this appliance is equipped  
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates  
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall  
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric  
shock hazard from this appliance.  
This provides the best performance and also  
prevents overloading house wiring circuits  
which could cause a fire hazard from  
overheated wires.  
T
rubleshotingT  
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical  
Requirements section for specific electrical  
connection requirements.  
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a  
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is  
properly grounded.  
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,  
it is your personal responsibility and obligation  
to have it replaced with a properly grounded  
3-prong wall outlet.

conditions, we strongly recommend against the  
use of an extension cord.  
SafeyIructions  
However, if you must use an extension cord,  
it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed,  
14 gauge, 3-wire grounding type appliance  
extension cord having a grounding type plug  
and outlet and that the electrical rating of the  
cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.  
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS –115-Volt models only

one hand while pulling the power cord plug  
with the other hand. If this is not done, the  
adapter ground terminal is very likely to break  
with repeated use.  
However, if you must use an adapter, where  
local codes permit, a temporary connection may  
be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall  
outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at  
most local hardware stores.  
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT  
USE the air conditioner until a proper ground  
has been established.  
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned  
with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide  
proper polarity in the connection of the power  
cord.  
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet  
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the  
cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall  
outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should  
have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to  
make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Problem  
Possible Causes  
What To Do  
Air conditioner  
does not start  
The air conditioner  
is unplugged.  
Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed  
completely into the outlet.  
The fuse is blown/circuit  
breaker is tripped.  
Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace  
the fuse or reset the breaker.  
Power failure.  
If power failure occurs, turn the mode control to OFF.  
When power is restored, wait 3 minutes to restart the  
air conditioner to prevent tripping of the compressor  
overload.  
Air conditioner does  
not cool as it should  
Airflow is restricted.  
Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture  
blocking the front of the air conditioner.  
OpeagIructions  
The temp control may  
not be set high enough.  
Turn the knob to a higher number. The highest setting  
provides maximum cooling.  
The air filter is dirty.  
Clean the filter at least every 30 days.  
See the Operating Instructions section.  
The room may have been hot.  
Cold air is escaping.  
When the air conditioner is first turned on you need to  
allow time for the room to cool down.  
Check for open furnace floor registers and cold  
air returns.  
Set the air conditioner’s vent to the closed position.  
See freezing up below.
