Before Installation the Air Conditioner

PREPARING FOR OPERATION
Refer to the Installation Instructions included in this manual before using the air conditioner. Once the air conditioner has been properly assembled and installed:

1. Plug the power cord into its own dedicated properly grounded outlet. Do not plug other appliances into the same outlet. Doing so could overload the outlet and create a fire hazard.
2. Make sure the air conditioner and cord are positioned where they do not create a tripping hazard and will receive adequate ventilation. Do not place the appliance near furniture or objects that could block the vent openings.
3. Make sure that any items that could be blown over or damaged by the airflow from the fan are out of the airflow path.

• Do not remain in the direct airflow from the air conditioner for extended periods of time.
• When used at the same time as stoves, fireplaces, and other combustion devices, make sure there is a sufficient flow of fresh air into the room. Do not use in tightly enclosed spaces with these types of devices.
• This air conditioner is intended for household use as a consumer comfort appliance. Do not use it as a precision climate control system, or for purposes such as cooling precision equipment, food, pets, plants, artwork, etc. Such items could be damaged.
• Do not bend the hose downward when window installation kit is not applied. It may cause failure of air conditioner or performance deterioration.

UNPACKING THE AIR CONDITIONER
Remove and store packing materials for reuse. Remove any shipping tape before using the air conditioner. If the tape leaves behind any adhesive, rub a small amount of liquid dish soap onto it and wipe with a damp cloth. Do NOT use sharp instruments, alcohol, thinners, or abrasive cleaners to remove adhesive. They could damage the finish.

Wireless Remote Control

Inserting Batteries
If the display screen of the remote control begins to fade, replace the batteries. Insert AAA (1.5 V) batteries before using the remote control.

1. Remove the cover on the back of the remote control.
   
2. With the plus and minus poles facing as marked, insert two new AAA 1.5V batteries.
   

NOTE

• Two new batteries are supplied with the air conditioner for use in the remote control.
• Do not use a rechargeable battery. Make sure that the battery is new.
• In order to prevent discharge, remove the battery from the remote control if the air conditioner is not going to be used for an extended period of time.
• Keep the remote control away from extremely hot or humid places.
• To maintain optimal operation of the remote control, the remote sensor should not be exposed to direct sunlight.

SELECTION OF INSTALLATION LOCATION

1. Place the unit on a level floor.
2. For best performance, allow at least 8" of air space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation.
3. Place the unit near a window. The hose and diffuser will be used to connect the air conditioner to the window installation kit to vent exhaust air outside.

NOTE

• After installation, the Hose length is approximately 35.5" or less for best performance.

WINDOW VENT PANEL AND EXTENSIONS

The window installation kit allows you to install the air conditioner in most vertical-sliding windows 23" to 60" wide, or horizontal-sliding windows from 23" to 60" high.

Window open\Panel	A	B	C	Fig.
	(23")	(16")	(23")
23"				a
24"~38"				b
39"~45"				c
46"~60"				d

1. For window openings shorter than 23", trim panel A to fit the opening.
2. For longer window openings, assemble and adjust the panels to fit the window opening. Use Mounting plate screws (included) to fix the panels together at the proper length.
   

Window Installation Kit (Includes 1 Window Vent Panel and 2 Extension Panels)

For an 23" window opening, use the window vent panel (Panel A) by itself.

For window openings from 24" to 38", use the window vent panel (Panel A) and an extension panel (Panel B).

Fig. b

For window openings from 39" to 45", use the window vent panel (Panel A) and an extension panel (Panel C)..

INSTALLATION (VERTICAL)

3. Attaching Foam Weather Seals
   1. Cut the mounting plate insulation to the chassis length and insert it on both sides of the mounting plate.
      
   2. Move the mounting plate to the end of the chassis, close the window and secure it with the security bracket.
      
      • Be sure to install the window fixing bracket to prevent the window from opening outside.
        
   3. Cut the window gap insulation to the window length and insert it into the window gap.
      

INSTALLATION (HORIZONTAL)

1. Attaching Foam Weather Seals
   Cut the mounting plate insulation to the chassis length and insert it on both sides of the mounting plate. (Attaching the foam weather seals to the panel assembly rather than the window sash and frame makes for easier cleanup when removing the panel assembly.)
   
   NOTE

• Take care not to block drain holes in the exterior sill. If necessary, cut slots in the foam seal to allow any moisture to drain out the window sill drains.

2. Inserting Panel Assembly
   Insert the panel assembly in the bottom sash channel as in step 2. Use care when installing the assembly, which will now fit very tightly in the opening. Close the sash tightly against the top of the panel assembly. For a tighter seal, use "no residue" duct tape (not included) to seal any gaps around the installed panel assembly.
   • If needed, install the included security bracket with a bracket screws.
     
3. Sealing Gap between Sashes Measure and cut the included window gap insulation to fit the window opening. Stuff it between the window sashes to prevent air and insects from getting into the room.
   Tip: For a tighter seal, use "no residue" duct tape to seal the gap between the sashes.

4. Connecting Vent Hose
   Align the tabs on the diffuser end of the vent hose to the slots in the panel assembly opening. Insert the diffuser and push it in the Lock direction to assemble with the mounting plate.
   • If disconnected, reconnect the other end of the vent hose to the product by inserting the vent hose into the product with the mounting ring facing out. If the hose doesn't snap into place, rotate it slightly so the 2 lines at the front align.
     
5. Positioning Vent Hose
   For best results, keep the vent hose as short and straight as possible. However, shape the diffuser end of the vent hose into an inverted U shape just inside the window to allow any rain or condensation to drain out the window.
