SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of

fire, electric shock or personal injury.

■ Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as

described in this Owner’s Manual.

■ This air conditioner must be properly installed in accordance

with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

■ Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling on the

power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight

out from the receptacle.

■ Replace immediately all electric service cords that

have become frayed or otherwise damaged. A

damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a

new power supply cord obtained from the manufacturer

and not repaired. Do not use a cord that shows cracks

or abrasion damage along its length or at either the

plug or connector end.

■ Turn the unit OFF and unplug your air conditioner

before cleaning.

■ To avoid risk of injury or property damage, the air

conditioner should only be serviced by a qualified

servicer, who should hold a current valid certificate

from an industry-accedited assessment authority,

which authorizes their competence to handle

refrigerants safely in accordance with an industry

recognized assessment specification.

■ For your safety…do not store or use combustible

materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors or

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■ All air conditioners contain refrigerants, which under federal

law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you are

getting rid of an old product with refrigerants, check with

the company handling disposal about what to do.

■ If the receptacle does not match the plug, the receptacle

must be changed out by a qualified electrician.

■ These R410A air conditioning systems require

contractors and technicians to use tools, equipment

and safety standards approved for use with this

refrigerant. DO NOT use equipment certified for R22

refrigerant only.

WARNING

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

RISK OF FIRE. Could cause serious injury or death.

■ DO NOT use an extension cord with this Built-In Air

Conditioner.

■ DO NOT use surge protectors or multi-outlet adaptors

with this Built-In Air Conditioner.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third

(ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety,

this appliance must be properly grounded.

DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard

3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility

of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Power cord includes a current interrupter device. A test

and reset button is provided on the plug case. The device

should be tested on a periodic basis by first pressing the

TEST button and then the RESET button while plugged

into the outlet. If the TEST button does not trip or if the

RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the

air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified

electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your

personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced

with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The air conditioner should always be plugged into its

own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating

that matches the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also prevents

overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a

fire hazard from overheated wires.

See the Installation Instructions, Electrical

Requirements section for specific electrical connection

requirements.

WARNING

Chemical Burn Hazard. Keep batteries away from children.

■ This product contains a lithium button/coin cell battery.

If a new or used lithium button/coin cell battery is

swallowed or enters the body, it can cause severe

internal burns and can lead to death in as little

as 2 hours. Always completely secure the battery

compartment. If the battery compartment does not

close securely, stop using the product, remove the

batteries, and keep it away from children.

■ If you think batteries might have been swallowed or

placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate

medical attention.

■ The cells shall be disposed of properly, including

keeping them away from children.

■

Even used cells may cause injury.

Air conditioner

seems to run too

much

The current air conditioner replaced an

older model.

The use of more efficient components may cause the air

conditioner to run longer than an older model, but the total

energy consumption will be less. Newer air conditioners do not

emit the “blast” of cold air you may be accustomed to from older

air conditioners, but this is not an indication of lesser cooling

capacity or efficiency. Refer to the efficiency rating (EER) and

capacity rating (in Btu/h) marked on the air conditioner.

The air conditioner is in a heavily

occupied room, or heat-producing

appliances are in use in the room.

Use exhaust vent fans while cooking or bathing and try not to

use heatproducing appliances during the hottest part of the day.

A higher capacity air conditioner may be required, depending on

the size of the room being cooled.

Air conditioner

cycles on and off

too much or does

not cool room in

cooling mode

The air conditioner is not properly sized

for your room.

Check the cooling capabilities of your room air conditioner.

Room air conditioners are not designed to cool multiple rooms.

The filter is dirty or obstructed by debris.

Clean the filter.

There is excessive heat or moisture

(open container cooking, showers, etc.)

in the room.

Use a fan to exhaust heat or moisture from the room. Try not to

use heat-producing appliances during the hottest part of the day.

The louvers are blocked. Install the air conditioner in a location where the louvers are free

from curtains, blinds, furniture, etc.

The outside temperature is below 65°F

(18°C).

Do not try to operate your air conditioner in the cooling mode

when the outside temperature is below 65°F (18°C).

The temperature of the room you are

trying to cool is extremely hot.

Allow extra time for the air conditioner to cool off a very hot

room.

Windows or doors to the outside are open.

Close all windows and doors.

The Temperature control is not at a cool

enough setting.

Adjust the TEMP/TIME control to a cooler setting by pressing

the minus button to reduce the temperature. Set the Fan Speed

control to the highest setting.

Water drips from

cabinet into your

house

The air conditioner is not properly

leveled.

The air conditioner should slope slightly downward toward

the outside. Level the air conditioner to provide a downward

slope toward the outside to ensure proper drainage. See the

Installation Instructions.

NOTE: Do not drill a hole into the bottom of the metal base and

condensate pan.
