STORM WINDOW APPLICATIONS
If the window is blocked by a storm window frame and
the storm window frame cannot be removed, a mount-
ing board (field provided) will need to be added to the
window sill. The air conditioner needs to be pitched
downward to the back in order for condensate to drain
properly. The frame of the storm window (or any other
obstruction) must be at least
3
/
4
-in. lower than the
window sill. If the storm window frame is not at least
3
/
4
-in. below the window sill, then a mounting board
will need to be added to raise the height of the window
sill. See Fig. 9. The board will need to be provided and
cut by the installer.
1. The wood mounting board should be a minimum
of 1
1
/
2
-in. wide and should run the length of the
window. The thickness of the mounting board is
dependent on the height of the storm window
frame. The mounting board should raise the front
of the air conditioner high enough so that the unit
will be pitched downward at least
5
/
8
-in. when the
back of the unit is resting on the storm window
frame. See Fig. 9.
2. Cut the wood mounting board to fit the window.
3. Install the wood mounting board on the window
using 2 field-provided nails or screws.
4. Drain holes or slots in storm window frame must
not be caulked or painted shut. Holes are needed
to drain rain water and condensate. Ensure that
trapped water can drain out.
OPERATION
The mechanical-type control is used on your KCA051D
Carrier air conditioner. The electronic-type control is
used on your KCA061P and KCA081P Carrier air
conditioner. Refer to the correct section for your air
conditioner.
The mechanical controls consist of a dial which can be
set to different modes of cooling and fan operation and
a thermostat dial to set desired room temperature. See
Fig. 10.
The electronic control consists of a control panel and a
remote control. Both the control panel or the remote
control can be used to set cooling and fan modes and
adjust the desired temperature. See Fig. 11. Other
additional features are provided.
MECHANICAL CONTROLS
■
TURN UNIT OFF —
To turn the unit OFF, set the
dial to the OFF position. The air conditioner will not
operate when the dial is set to OFF.
■
COOLING MODES —
The air conditioner can be
set to two different cooling modes — LOW COOL or
HIGH COOL. HIGH COOL mode is recommended for
very warm days or when a fast initial cooling of the
room is desired. LOW COOL mode is recommended on
slightly warm days or after the room temperature has
reached its desired setting.
NOTE: After setting a mode, allow 3 minutes to pass
before changing modes.
■
FAN MODE —
The air conditioner can be set to
LOW FAN or HIGH FAN mode. In FAN mode, the fan
operates to circulate the air in the room, but there is
no cooling operation. This mode is used to keep the
room air circulating when cooling is not needed. The
fan can be set to HIGH FAN for maximum air circula-
tion without cooling or LOW FAN for moderate air cir-
culation without cooling.
■
THERMOSTAT —
The thermostat dial is numbered
from 1 to 9. The lowest (least cooling) setting is 1. The
highest (most cooling) setting is 9. Turn the thermo-
stat dial clockwise to lower the room temperature.
Turn the dial counterclockwise to raise the room
temperature.
ELECTRONIC CONTROLS
Either the remote control or the control panel on the
air conditioner can be used. The battery of the remote
control will need to be installed before it can be used.
