READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

tl WARNING!

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

shock or personal injury.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Use this equipment onlg for its intended

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.

,tl, WARNING!Riskofelectric

shock. Can cause injurg or death: Earth

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

shock. Can cause injurg or death: Repair or

replace immediatelg all electrical wiring

that has become fraged or otherwise

damaged. Do not use wiring that shows

cracks or abrasion damage along its

length or at either end.

iiiiiiiiiiii_iiii_

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.

iiiiiiiiiiii_iiii_

All air conditioners contain refrigerants,

which under federal law must be removed

prior to product disposal. If gou are getting

rid of an old product with refrigerants, check

with the compang handling disposal.

R/410Aair conditioning sgstems require

contractors and technicians to use tools,

equipment and safetg standards approved

for use with this refrigerant. DO NOT use

equipment certified for R22 refrigerant onlg.

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

installed as high on the wall as possible, allowing

a minimum of 6" from ceiling.

• Use a stud finder to locate studs for mounting and

to prevent unnecessarg damage to the wall.

• Install on studs and in a location from which

the condensation water can be drained out

convenientlg and that permits easg connection

with the outdoor unit.

• Do not cover the inlet and outlet so that the

outflow air can reach all parts of the room.

• Install in a location that is strong enough to

withstand the full weight and vibration of the unit.

• Be sure that the installation conforms to the

installation dimension diagram.

• Leave enough space to allow access for routine

maintenance. The height of the installed location

should be 79" or more awag from the floor.

• Install in a location that is 3 ft. or more awag from

other electrical appliances, such as televisions and

audio devices.

• To let water drain and prevent damage to wiring

and tubing, insert o 2V/' plastic pipe, cut to o

length equal to the wall depth. Insert the tubing

and wiring through the pipe.

• Copper tubing should be copped until ready to

install flare fitting, to prevent contamination.

[_] INSTALL THE DRAINAGE HOSE

• For good drainage, the drain hose should be

placed at o downward slant.

• Do not wrench or bend the drain hose or allow

it to contact standing water.

• The extended drainage tube in the room should

be wrapped with the insulating materials.

I_ INSTALL THE CONNECTION TUBING

• Connect the copper tubing with the relevant union

tubes of the indoor unit and tighten the flare nut

of the connection tubes.

NOTE: Be careful when bending the connection

tubes to ovoid damaging them.

1. Align the center of the tube flere with the relevant

velve.

2. Screw in the flare nut by hand end then tighten

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.
