Additional Safety Precautions
•Do not cut, alter or remove any of the expanded polystyrene (styrofoam) inside this air conditioner.
•Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
•Do not introduce objects in the air discharge area. This could cause permanent damage.
•Do not pour liquids on the air conditioner as this could cause a malfunction. With the unit unplugged, use a damp cloth for cleaning the unit.
•Do not use strong solvents to clean the air conditioner.
•Clean the air conditioner filter every two weeks to avoid overheating caused by air obstruction. Do not operate without filter.
•Do not obstruct the air intake area of your air conditioner, as this could cause overheating, thus activating the unit’s security switch and shutting off the unit.
•Do not block air circulation to outside louvers of cabinet.
•Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains, or furniture, or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
•Do not run the air conditioner with an outside protective cover in place. This could result in fire or mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
Window Requirements
Air conditioner is factory prepared for installation in standard double hung windows (air conditioner cannot be installed in other types of windows). The air conditioner can be installed in windows 23” to 34” wide when filler panels are used. In windows 19” to 22” wide the air conditioner can be installed without the filler panels. All windows must open at least 12 3/4” vertically.
Install the air conditioner in a window where there will be enough clearance around the cabinet to allow ample circulation of air through unit. All supporting parts should be secured to firm wood, masonry, or metal.
Filler Panel Installation
1.Place tabbed side of curtain in track on side of air conditioner cabinet, and slide down the track until the curtain is even top and bottom (Fig.1).
2.Slide the filler panel frame onto the air conditioner cabinet using the tracks on the top and bottom of the unit. Slide the frame as close to the air conditioner as possible so that the curtain locks into place. Gently pull the frame out until it is the correct length for your application.
