Use 2 “AAA” (1.5 volt) alkaline batteries. Do not use rechargeable batteries.

Remove the batteries from the remote control if the system is not going to be used for a long time.

Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (ni-cad, ni-mh, etc) batteries.

Some models require a 115/120-volt AC, 60-Hz grounded outlet protected with a 15-amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker. The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the possibility of electric shock hazard. If the wall outlet you plan to use is only a 2-prong outlet, it is your responsibility to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Place the air conditioner on a flat, level surface in a location that is at least 30″ (76.2 cm) from any wall.

Maintain a minimum 30″ (76.2 cm) clearance around the air conditioner to not block airflow.

Keep the air conditioner free of any obstructions such as drapes, curtains, blinds, etc.

The exhaust hose should be free of any obstructions.

Do not place the air conditioner on an unstable or raised surface because it could fall and cause damage or injury.

Do not place the air conditioner in direct sunlight or near a heat source such as baseboard heaters, stoves, etc.

The window panel can be installed in a window with a minimum 20″ (55.88 cm) to a maximum 46″ (121.92) opening.

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Do not change the plug on the power cord of this air conditioner.

Aluminium house wiring may present special problems, consult a qualified electrician.

Use two or more people to move and install air conditioner. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

Remove packaging materials. Save the carton and the foam packaging for storing the air conditioner when not in use.

Properly dispose of/recycle all packing material.

Handle the air conditioner gently.

Keep the air conditioner upright and level. Do not set the air conditioner on its side, front, back or upside down.

Install the exhaust hose assembly by screwing the hose counterclockwise into the exhaust port on the back of the Air Conditioner.

Measure the window opening. For a 20″ opening, use just the middle panel of the Window Kit with the opening for the Exhaust Hose Adapter. For openings from 20″ to 33″, insert one side panel to the middle panel. For openings from 33″ to 46″, insert both side panels. Place the Window Kit into the window opening (the Cam Locks should be towards you) and slide the side panels (if being used) outward to fill the opening. Lock the panels in place with the Cam Locks. Slide the window shut against the Window Kit.

Place the Air Conditioner close to the window ensuring there is at least 20″ of clearance from the wall and any other obstructions. Extend the hose so that it reaches the Window Kit. Insert the Exhaust Hose Adapter into the opening in the Window Kit and slide it into the locking position. Ensure the hose runs straight to the window with no excess extension. Use the small screw to attach the exhaust hose assembly to the window sealing plate assembly.

The Air Conditioner must be vented to the outside. Do not use a longer hose or extend the hose included with the Air Conditioner or the unit will not cool properly and will overheat.

Plug the power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Press the Reset button on the plug to ensure the safety plug is providing power to the Air Conditioner.

Allow 20″ of clearance around the Air Conditioner for proper air circulation.

When removing the Air Conditioner, be sure to remove the Window Kit.
