How to Insert

Batteries
1. Remove the cover from the back of the remote controller 2. Insert two batteries. Be sure of the polarity when installing the batteries. Be sure that both batteries are new. 3. Re-attach the cover.

Do not use rechargeable batteries. Such batteries differ from standard dry cells in shape, dimensions, and performance. Remove the batteries from the remote controller if the air conditioner is not going to be used for an extended length of time.
Air Direction Adjusting the air direction using the horizontal air deflector control. Using the control tabs, the air flow can be directed to the left, right, straight ahead, or any combination of these directions.
Drain Pipe In humid weather, excess water may cause the Base Pan to overflow. To drain the water, remove the Drain Cap and secure the Drain Pipe to the rear hole of the Base Pan. Press the drain pipe into the hole by pushing down and away from the fins to avoid injury. This air conditioner is equipped with a slinger fan. (See drawing, below.) The fan has an outer ring that runs in the water that collects in the base pan if it gets deep. That condensate is then picked up by the fan and expelled through the condenser, making the air conditioner more efficient.

Maintenance

and Service

Air Filter Check the air filter at least twice a month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped particles in the filter can build up and block the airflow, reducing cooling capacity and causing an accumulation of frost on the evaporator. To clean the air filter:

1. 2. 3.

Remove the air filter from the front grille by lifting the air filter up. Wash the filter using lukewarm water below 40 C (104 F). Gently shake the excess water from the filter and replace.

Cleaning The Air Conditioner The front grille and Inlet grille may be wiped with a cloth dampened in a mild detergent solution. The cabinet may be washed with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water, then polished with Liquid Wax for Appliances. To ensure continued peak efficiency, the condenser coils (outside of unit) should be checked periodically and cleaned if clogged with soot or dirt from the atmosphere.
HOW TO REMOVE THE FRONT GRILLE 1. Remove the screws securing the Front Grille. 2. Push the grille up from the bottom and pull the top of the grille away from the case as the top tabs lift out of their slots.

Before Calling for Service If you have problems with your air conditioner, read the following information and try to solve the problem. If you cannot find a solution, turn off the air conditioner and contact your dealer. Air conditioner does not operate
1. Ensure that the air conditioner is plugged into a proper outlet. 2. Check the fuse or circuit breaker. 3. Check whether the voltage is unusually high or low. Air does not feel cold enough on the cooling setting
1. Ensure that the temperature settings are correct. 2. Check to see if the air filter is clogged with dust. If so, clean the filter. 3. Ensure that the air flow from the outside is not obstructed and that there is a clearance of over 20" between the back of the air conditioner and the wall or fence behind it. 4. Close all doors and windows and check for any source of heat in the room.
Before calling for service, please review the following list of common problems and solutions. The air conditioner is operating normally when:
You hear a pinging noise. This is caused by water being picked up by the fan on rainy days or in highly humid conditions. This feature is designed to help remove moisture in the air and improve cooling efficiency. See the section on Slinger Fan, page 19. You hear the thermostat click. This is caused by the compressor cycle starting and stopping. You see water dripping from the rear of the unit. Water may be collected in the base pan in highly humid conditions or on rainy days. This water overflows and drips from the rear of the unit. You hear the fan running while the compressor is silent. This is a normal operational feature.
The air conditioner may be operating abnormally when:
Make sure the air conditioner plug is pushed completely into the outlet. Check the house fuse/circuit Air conditioner does not start breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker. 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. Make sure there are no curtains, blinds, or furniture blocking the front of the air conditioner, Turn the knob to a higher number. The highest setting provides maximum cooling. Clean the filter at least every 2 weeks. See the care and Maintenance section. 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. See Air Conditioner Freezing Up below. Air conditioner freezing up
