Energy-Saving Tips
Your Vertical Room Air Conditioner is designed
to be highly efficient in energy savings.
Follow these recommendations for greater efficiency.
1. Select thermostat setting that suits your
comfort needs and leave thermostat at that
chosen setting.
2. The filter is very efficient in removing airborne
particles. Keep air filter clean. Normally, filter
should be cleaned every 2 weeks. More
frequent cleaning may be necessary depending
on indoor air quality.
3. Use drapes, curtains, or shades to keep
direct sunlight from heating room, but DO NOT
obstruct the air conditioner. Allow air to circulate
around the unit without obstruction.
4. Start your air conditioner before outdoor air
becomes hot and uncomfortable. This avoids an
initial period of discomfort while unit is cooling
off the room.
5. When outdoor temperatures are cool enough,
use HIGH or LOW FAN only. This circulates
indoor air, providing some cooling comfort, and
utilizes less electricity than when operating on a
cooling setting.

Selecting the Best Location

Please refer to the Installation Manual for
detailed instructions on installing your
vertical Air Conditionner.

Select the Best Location

A. This room air conditioner is designed to fit easily
into a single or double hung window. However,
since window designs vary, it may be necessary
to make some modifications for safe, proper
installation.
B. Make sure window and frame are structurally
sound and free from dry and rotted wood.
C. For maximum efficiency, install the air conditioner
on a side of a house or building which favors
more shade than sunlight. If the unit is in direct
sunlight, it is advisable to provide an awning over
the unit.
D. Provide sufficient clearance around the cabinet to
allow for ample air circulation through the unit.
See Fig. 2. The rear of the unit should be
outdoors and not in a garage nor inside a
building. Keep unit as far away as possible from
obstacles/obstructions and at least 30"(762mm) above
the floor or ground. Curtains and other objects within
a room should be prevented from blocking the air
flow.
CAUTION
Because the compressor is located towards the
rear of the unit, this side will be heavier and more
awkward to manipulate. Therefore, it is
recommended to have someone assist you
during the installation of this unit.
Your unit is designed to evaporate condensation
under normal conditions. However, under
extreme humidity conditions, excess condensation
may cause basepan to overflow to the outside.
The Unit should be installed where condensation
run-off cannot drip on pedestrians or neighboring
properties.

E. Be certain the proper electrical outlet is within
reach of the installation. Use only a single
outlet circuit rated at 15 amps. All wiring should
be in accordance with local and national
electrical codes.
F. DO NOT USE "REGULAR" EXTENSION CORDS
WITH THIS UNIT. If it is necessary to use an
extension cord to connect your air conditioner,
use an approved "air conditioner" extension cord
only. (available at most local hardware stores)
G. DO NOT install unit where leakage of combustible
gas is suspected. Your air conditioner may fail to
operate in air containing oils (including machine
oils), sulfide gas, near hot springs, etc...
