INSTALLATION

WIRING

The air conditioner is powered by plugging it into a 
compatible wall outlet. The electrical outlet MUST 
match the plug on the unit power cord. The unit name-
plate contains unit electrical data, unit ratings, and 
identification numbers. Do not use a plug adapter or an 
extension cord.

Check available power supply and resolve any wiring 
problems before installing and operating the air condi-
tioner. If wiring is required, all wiring must comply 
with all local and national electrical codes. All wiring 
must be installed by a qualified electrician. If you have 
any questions regarding the unit electrical data or wir-
ing, consult a qualified electrician before installation.

For your safety, this air conditioner is grounded 
through the power cord plug when plugged into a 
matching wall outlet.

WINDOW INSTALLATION

To install the room air conditioner in a window,
perform the following procedure.

1. Check contents of hardware kit. See Table 1. Make 

sure all the items are in the plastic bag.

2. Determine which window will be used for installa-

tion. Make sure there is adequate clearance on the 
inside and outside of the window. Ensure that the 
power cord will reach the available socket without 
an extension cord. A double-hung window type 
must be used for the installation location.

TABLE 1 — HARDWARE CONTENTS
