READ THIS FIRST! Electrical Requirements

IMPORTANT: Before you begin the actual installation of the air conditioner,

be sure your electrical requirements are as described below. Consult an

electrical professional as necessary to insure home wiring is per local

electrical codes.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION - An overloaded circuit will invariably cause mal-

function or failure of an air conditioner, therefore, it is necessary that the

electrical protection is adequate. All portable chassis models require a 15

amp fuse or circuit breaker for over-amperage protection. Due to momen-

tary high current demand when your air conditioner is started, use a "TIME

DELAY" fuse or a HACR type circuit breaker. Consult your dealer or power

company if in doubt.

Your air conditioner must be connected to a power supply with the same A.C.

voltage and hertz as marked on the unit nameplate. Only alternating current

(A.C.), no direct current (D.C.), can be used.

The power cord has a plug with a grounding prong of approved type and a

matching plug receptacle with ground is required. Refer to page 3 for the

correct type of plug receptacle for your model.

If you have a power failure,the unit's auto-restartfeature will resumeoperation

in the selected mode prior to the power failure.

Won't cool?

If your air conditioner operates, but won’t cool; check to see if the controls

are properly set. Check the filter and clean thoroughly if needed. Check to

see if the chassis seal gasket is installed (refer to Installation Instructions,

Step 8, page 8).

Won't run?

Make sure the power cord is plugged in completely. Check for a bad fuse,

tripped breaker or tripped LCDI Device. Refer to page 3 for LCDI reset

instructions and to con¿rm proper fuse size.

“TEMPERATURE DOWN” button at the same time. The LEDs (small red

lights) for Hour, Start and Stop will begin blinking. Once this occurs, turn

the unit off by pressing the On/Off button once and then unplug the unit.

Finally, plug the unit back in and turn it on by pressing the On/Off button

once. All settings revert back to the factory default settings.

This is a warm weather appliance

Your air conditioner is designed to cool in warm weather when the outside

temperature is above 60°F (16°C), so it won't cool a room if it is already cool

outside. Also, it will not provide adequate heating when the outdoor ambient

temperature falls below 37°F (3°C).

Condensation is normal

Air conditioners actually pump the heat and humidity from your room to the

tsomesulliwrenoitidnocriaruoydna,retawsemoc ebytidimuH.riaedistuo

of the water to keep the outside coil cool. If there is excessive humidity, there

Frosting

This usually occurs because of insufficient airflow across the coils, a dirty

will disappear. Setting the thermostat a little warmer will probably prevent

the frosting from recurring.

Noises

All air conditioners make some noise. We build them to operate as quietly as

in a window. It is important to ensure that the chassis seal gasket is properly

installed (refer to Installation Instructions, Step 8, page 8).

Cleaning your air conditioner

The decorative front and the cabinet can be cleaned with warm water and a

ment if it appears to be dirty. The outdoor coil can be gently sprayed with a

hose if you can get to it. If not, you might call your dealer for a more thorough

cleaning when needed. The air ¿lter shouldbe inspected weeklyand cleaned

using warm water and a mild dishwashing detergent. Dry the ¿lter thoroughly

before reinstalling. Use caution– the coil surface can be sharp.

Heat pumps operate differently

cooling:

1. It is normal for ice to form on the outdoor coil of the heat pump.

Moisture in the outside air, passing over the coil when very cold,

will form ice.

2. If the outdoor temperature drops below 37°F (-3°C), your heat

the temperature rises to 40°F (4°C) , the compressor will resume

the heat pump operation. If your unit is a 115 volt model (YQ07), it

is designed for use in warmer climates and has no electrical heat

feature, and will not provide adequate heat below 37°F(3°C).
