BEFORE YOU USE YOUR

AIR CONDITIONER

It is your responsibility to make sure that your air conditioner:

l l l l l l l l

Has been properly installed.

Is the right size for the area you want to cool.

Is properly connected to electricity.

Is properly electrically grounded.

Is properly used only for the job it was intended to do.

Is not used by children or anyone not able to operate it properly.

Is properly maintained.

Also, remove energy label and buy guide.

Use damp cloth to take off any glue residue. Do not use a sharp instrument or any harsh or abrasive cleaners.

Energy Saving Tips

l

Improve home insulation (seal doors, windows, and close fireplace flue). l l l l l l

Close blinds or drapes on sunny side of house; add window awnings.

Keep air filter clean. Don’t block air flow with drapes or furniture.

Ventilate attic (high temperature levels add to normal cooling load).

Try not to use heat producing appliances during the hottest part of the day. Turn lights, radios, televisions, and other appliances off when not needed.

Keep heat registers and cool air returns closed or blocked off so cooled air won’t escape.

Use a vent fan in areas where cooking, laundry, or bathing is done to pull out extra heat and moisture near its source.

Pick the right wall. First, decide what room(s) you want to cool. Then choose a wall that will allow the air-conditioned air to flow freely and directly into the room(s) you want cooled. Remember, it’s difficult to move air around corners. Choose a location that’s also near an electrical outlet. (Refer to

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS for re- ceptacle and wiring needed.) Do not use an extension cord. (CAUTION: DO NOT LOCATE

Choose the type of decorative molding you want to use around the room side of the cabinet. Your choice affects the finish frame alignment with the inside wall. When using a wood, metal or plastic molding, the finish frame should almost line up with the inside wall. If the wall is plastered to the cabinet and no molding is used, the finish frame must be set into the wall by l/2” (see Figure 4 for frame construction or Figure 5 for brick veneer construction). Cut through two studs for support.

. Provide an opening through the wall for a finish frame. Observe all local governing codes and ordinances. For wall opening dimensions, use those shown in Figure 6 and add wood frame thickness (use 1” lumber or heavier).

When determining finish frame thickness, be sure you do not cover side cabinet louvers.

A 4” minimum clearance between sidecabinet louvers and adjoining wall allows for proper airflow into air conditioner.

8 l

Slide unit out of cabinet. First, disconnect the green ground wire at the left-front corner of base unit by removing retaining screw (save screw for reuse later). Now slide unit out of cabinet by pulling on handle at bottom (see

Figure 7).

9

. Insert exterior cabinet through wall opening.

Leave l-3/16” minimum projection into the room at service cord exit hole in cabinet, after allowing for trim. For proper outward water drainage, shim or reposition cabinet to pro- vide the proper downward tilt to the outside

(l/2” bubble or l/4” and side-to-side leveling.

10 l

Fill all spaces between cabinet and finish frame with insulation.

11 l Drill holes in the cabinet and attach it securely to finish frame. Use ten #lO x 1” wood screws (four screws for each side and two screws for the top; not included). Do not overtighten screws or cabinet will distort and provide a poor air seal between cabinet and unit.

12 l Insert plastic drain-cup spout and metal holder

(on certain models) into hole at rear of cabinet, as shown in Figure 8. Spout should be facing downward through hole. OPTIONAL: During high humidity, condensate may drip from the outside of your air conditioner onto the ground below. If your air conditioner is installed where this is undesirable, you can direct the water to a more suitable spot by simply attaching a 5/8” inside-diameter, thin walled hose to the drain spout at rear of cabinet (see Figure 9). On models without plastic drain cup spout, use flashing as needed to guide water.

Note the type of drain parts you have. Insert drain cup according to instructions in Figure 8.

Annual Maintenance for Your

Air Conditioner

Your air conditioner needs annual maintenance to help insure steady, top performance throughout the year. l l

Call the service company recommended by your dealer to:

Inspect and clean the coils and condensate water passages.

Check fan and oil the fan motor. l

The compressor is sealed and needs no oiling.

Expense of annual inspection is customer’s responsibility.

- or -

If you are familiar with electrical appliances, you can do the cleaning and maintenance yourself. If you decide to go ahead, follow these steps:

3 l

Remove plastic film from motor and electrical parts.

4 l

Replace unit in cabinet.

NOTE: It’s a good idea to wait 24 hours before starting the unit again. This allows time for all areas to dry out. The water from rainfall or from normal operation does not harm these components.

Oiling of the Fan Motor

1. Oil the fan motor per instructions on the motor. To add oil, pull out the oil hole plug at each end of the motor (See Figure 16).

Figure 16

1 l

REMOVE UNIT FROM CABINET. Wrap the motor, electrical control box and electrical terminals box in plastic film and make sure no water or other liquid gets inside any of these parts. It could damage the insulation and cause serious trouble.

2 l

Carefully clean and hose out the base, coils and condensate pans. Clean at least once a year or more often, if the condenser coils and pans collect dirt, sand, leaves, insects or algae.

Also, clean if you detect an odor from the air conditioner. While the cabinet is open, this is a good time to oil the fan motor.

OIL PLUGS

An easy to use one-ounce capsule of especially recommended oil (Part No. 10943) can be ordered from your dealer.

2 l

Replace the plug to keep dirt from motor bearings.

3

. Reinstall unit in cabinet after performing maintenance.

If you need service or follow these four steps:

1. Before calling for assistance

Performance problems often result from little things you can find and fix yourself without tools of any kind.

Unit won’t run:

1. Is unit plugged in?

2. Is switch ON?

3. Is thermostat set too WARM?

4. Is time-delay fuse blown?

5. Has local power failed?

Unit blows fuses:

1. Are time-delay fuses used?

2. Is an extension cord being used? (Do not use,)

3. Are you waiting two minutes after turning cooling circuit off before trying to restart unit?

Unit turns on and off, or does not cool room:

I, Is filter clean?

2. Are coils clean? Both evaporator (inside) and con- denser (outside)?

3. Is there excessive moisture or heat? (Open vessel cooking, showers, etc.)

4. Set fan to higher speed.

5. Set thermostat to a cooler setting,

Operating sounds:

1. When your room air conditioner you WIII hear sounds such as: l l is operating normally,

Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a

“pinging” or “clicking” sound. Water droplets help to cool the condenser.

Air movement from the fan, especially on high fan l speed setting.

Clicks from thermostat cycle.

2. Sounds also may be caused by house construction such as vibration of the unit due to wall construction or unsteady window mounting area,
