Installation & Operation Manual (2021)

26 27
IMPORTANT: Before you begin the actual installation of your air
conditioner, check your local electrical codes and the information below.
Your air conditioner must be connected to a power source with the same
alternating current (A.C.) voltage and amperage as marked on the name
plate located on the chassis. Only A.C. can be used. Direct Current (D.C.)
cannot be used.
CIRCUIT PROTECTION – Use on single outlet circuit only. An overloaded
circuit will invariably cause malfunction or failure of an air conditioner;
therefore, it is necessary that the electrical protection is adequate. Due
to momentary high current demand when the air conditioner starts, use a
“TIME DELAY” fuse or a HACR type circuit breaker. Consult your dealer or
power company if in doubt.
Refer to the electrical name plate located on the air conditioner chassis
(see Page 2) to determine the correct fuse or circuit breaker amperage for
your model (see Table 1 on Page 6 for electrical receptacle types).
The power cord has a plug with a grounding prong and a matching
receptacle is required.

Installation Instructions
READ THIS FIRST! Electrical Requirements
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure your electrical receptacle has the
same conguration as your air conditioner’s
plug. If different, consult a Licensed Electrician.
Do not use plug adapters.
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not remove ground prong.
Always plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death, re, or electrical shock.
The following instructions are for standard chassis model groups
distinguished by the rst three letters of the model designations cabinet
sizes listed in Table 2.

WARNING
MOVING PARTS HAZARDS
• Do not operate unit out of sleeve or
with front grille removed.
• Do not place hands in blower or fan
blade areas.
Failure to do so can result in serious injury.
CAUTION
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people when installing your
air conditioner.
Failure to do so can result in back or other
injury.
Airflow direction adjustment
The airow path may be adjusted to distribute air independently from the
left or right side of the discharge opening. Each of the banks of louvers can
be directed left, right, up, or down in order to achieve the most optimum
airow positioning.
To adjust airow direction, grab the lever in the center of the louver bank
and move it in the direction that you would like the air to be directed. Please
note that it is normal that airow may be stronger out of one side of the
louvers than the other.

Airflow Selection and Adjustment
Fresh air and exhaust control
Your air conditioner has the ability to bring fresh air into the room or exhaust
stale air out of the room. The control slide is found on the upper part of the
unit (see Figure 53).
TO BRING IN FRESH AIR – Move the lever to the Fresh Air position
which allows outside air to enter the room. This is useful in fall and spring
as a means of bringing in fresh outside air when using FAN ONLY. It can
also be used in the summer with the compressor in the Cooling Mode if
you wish.
TO EXHAUST INDOOR AIR – Move the lever to the Exhaust position.
This will allow stale air to be expelled to the outside of the dwelling. This
is especially handy in the spring or fall when indoor air tends to get stale,
or after a social gathering involving smokers, or to remove cooking odors.
BEST PERFORMANCE – Move the lever to the Re-Circulate Position.
This is the most efcient mode for cooling and heating.
