the window is a triple-track type with a screen panei
included, you may want to remove the screen
completely before installation.

correctly installed according to the separate installation

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
The complete electrical rating of your new room air
conditioner is stated on the serial plate. Refer to the rating
when checking the electrical requirements.
• Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To
minimize shock and fire hazards, proper grounding is
important. The power cord is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock
hazards.
• Your air conditioner must be plugged into a properly
grounded wall receptacle. If the wall receptacle you
intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by
a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified
electrician install the proper receptacle.
• Do not run air conditioner with a protective covering.
This could result in mechanical damage within the air
conditioner.
• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

ENERGY SAVING IDEA8
• The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the
room size for efficient and satisfactory operation.
• Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your
home. A window that faces north is best because it is
shaded most of the day.
• Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains, or
furniture; or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other
buildings.
• Close the floor and wall registers and the fireplace
damper so cool air does not escape up the chimney and
into the duct work.
• Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during
the sunniest part of the day.
• Clean the air filter as recommended in the
MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
• Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home wilI
heip keep warm air out and cool air in.
• External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will
help reduce the air conditioner's work load.
• Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges,
washers, dryers, and dishwashers during the coolest
part of the day.
