STEP 9 CIRCUIT PROTECTION – If the air conditioner is connected to a circuit protected by a fuse, use a “TIME-
DELAY” fuse due to the momentary high current demand when the air conditioner is started. Before operating
your unit, verify the ampere rating of the time-delay fuse or circuit breaker which protects your unit. The
ampere rating of the time-delay fuse or circuit breaker must be 15 amps. Plug the service cord into the
electrical outlet (see warning note below). Refer to the Owner’s Manual for operating instructions.
WARNING: This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock
hazards and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.
Where a two-prong receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. The work should be done by a qualified electrician.
STEP 6 If the installation is in the swing-out part of the window , be sure the window is locked closed, then slide the
chassis into the shell as far as it will go.
STEP 7 Reinstall the CHASSIS SEAL GASKET. Carefully "stuff" the gasket between the chassis and the cabinet
starting at either bottom corner and go up the side, across the top and down the opposite side. It is
IMPORTANT that this gasket be properly installed as it prevents air leakage around the chassis.
STEP 8 Place the filter in the pocket, in front of the coil, then install the decorative front over the edge of the shell and
secure it with two (2) number 10 x 1/2" slotted head screws, (Figure 5).
