purpose as described in this Owner's
Manual.
This sgstem must be properlg installed
in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
@All wiring should be rated appropriate for
the current value listed on the rating plate.
Use onlg copper wiring.

connection is essential before connecting
the power supplg.
,_ WAR N ! N G_ Riskof electric
shock. Can cause injurg or death: Disconnect
all remote electric power supplies before
servicing.
WARN!NG!Riskof electric

All electrical work must be completed bg a
qualified electrician and completed to local
and national building codes and regulations.
Any servicing must be performed by a
qualified individual.
WARNING!Riskof fire. Can
cause injurg or death: Do not store or use
combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinitg
of this or ang other appliance.
For any service which requires entry
into the refrigerant sealed system,
Federal regulations require the work
be performed by a technician having
a Class II or Universal certification.

Featuresand appearancemay vary.
AUTO--In this mode, the unit automatica%
controls the room temperature within the
range of 77°F and 68°F.The fan will run
continuously while the unit is in AUTOmode.
When the room temperature exceeds 77°F,the
unit will go into COOLMode. When the room
temperature drops to 73°F,the fan will
continue to run but COOLMode will turn off.
When the temperature drops below 68°F,the
unit will go into HEATMode. When the
temperature reaches 73°F,the fan will
continue to run but HEATMode turns off.
NOTE:This temperature range setting cannot
be adjusted and will not be displaged.
¢_ COOL--Use to cool the room to the desired
temperature set between 61°F and 86°F.
NOTE:The unit will not provide optimum
cooling if the outside temperature is below
60°F. Under certain conditions, the unit mag
activate the antifreeze protection cgcle for
approximatelg 5 minutes to remove ice from
the indoor coil.
666DRY--Use to dehumidifg the room. The fan will
run at a fixed low speed to provide maximum
dehumidification. The temperature can be set
between 61°F and 86°F.
_€ FAN--Use to turn ON and OFFthe fan-onlg
operation. COOL,HEATor DRYmode will not
be provided.
_X HEAT (on models so equipped)--Use to warm
the room to the desired temperature set
between 61°F and 86°F.
NOTE:The unit will not provide optimum
heating if the outside temperature is below
14°F.Under certain conditions, the unit mag
activate the antifreeze protection cgcle for
approximatelg 8 minutes to remove ice from
the outdoor coil. During this cgcle, it is normal
to hear operating sounds such as refrigerant
flowing inside the sgstem.

Installation Instructions
Read these instructions completely and carefully; then follow step by step.
SELECT THE BEST LOCATION
r_ INDOOR UNIT
• Do not allow ang heat or steam near the unit.
• Select a location where there are no obstacles
in front of the unit.
• Make sure that condensate drainage can be
convenientlg routed awag.
• Do not install near a doorwag.
• Ensure that the space around the left and right
of the unit is more than 6". The unit should be

NOTE: Connect bg using a 1/4" Female x
1/2" Male Adapter Access Fitting (obtain Iocallg).
Start the vacuum pump. (Running time should
be more than 15 minutes.)
Check the vacuum with the vacuum gauge. The
gauge should read -30 in. Hg. After evacuation,
fulls close the handle on the manifold valve
(on the vacuum pump device). Then stop the
vacuum pump and disconnect it.
