Your room air conditioner provides the following functions to make hot weather
living more comfortable:
• Cools and circulates room air.
• Lowers humidity by removing excess moisture.
• Filters out summertime dust, dirt, and some airborne impurities.
The air conditioner performs these functions by drawing room air through a filter
which traps dust and dirt particles. The air then passes over a cooling coil which
refrigerates the air and removes excess moisture. The same air is then returned to
the room — cooler, drier and cleaner. Moisture removed from the room air is carried
to the outside and evaporated.
Your air conditioner is designed to be easy to operate and to provide plenty of
cooling power.

To reduce risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air
conditioner, follow basic precautions, including the following:
• Be sure electrical service is adequate for model you have chosen. This information
can be found on the serial plate, which is located either behind louvers or on left
side of cabinet.
• If air conditioner is to be installed in window, you will probably want to clean
both sides of glass first. If window is a triple-track type with screen panel
included, remove screen completely before installation.
• Be sure air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to the
separate installation instructions provided with this manual. Save this manual and
installation instructions for possible future use in removing or reinstalling this unit.
• When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins
on front and rear coils.

receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time
delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install proper receptacle.

• Room air conditioner capacity must fit room size for efficient operation.
• Install room air conditioner on shady side of home. A window that faces north is
best because it is shaded most of the day.
• Close fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape.
• Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during sunniest part of day.
• Clean air filter as recommended in section “Care and Cleaning.”
• Proper home insulation and weather stripping keeps warm air out and cool air in.
• Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and
dishwashers during coolest part of the day.
