Before operating your unit

WARNING:
Make sure the wiring is adequate for your unit.
If you have fuses, they should be of the time delay type.
Before you install or relocate this unit, be sure that the
amperage rating of the circuit breaker or time delay fuse
does not exceed the amp rating listed in Figure 1.
DO NOT use an extension cord.
The cord provided will carry the proper amount of electrical
power to the unit; an extension cord will not.

Keep the filter clean
Make sure that your air conditioner is always in top
performing condition by cleaning the filter regularly.
Instructions for removing and cleaning the filter can be
found on page 7.
Provide good air flow
Make sure the airflow to and from the unit is clear. Your air
conditioner puts the air out at the top of the unit, and takes
in air at the bottom. Airflow is critical to good operation.
It is just as important on the outside of the building that the
airflow around the unit exterior is not blocked.
Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with
the air conditioner cord plug provided.
This insures proper grounding. If you have a two prong
receptacle you will need to have the circuit replaced by
a certified electrician with a grounded circuit that meets
all national and local codes and ordinances. Under no
circumstances should you remove the ground prong from
the plug. You must use the three prong plug furnished with
the air conditioner.

Unit placement
If your air conditioner can be placed in a window or wall
that is shaded by a tree or another building, the unit will
operate even more efficiently. Using drapes or blinds on
the sunny side of the dwelling will also add to your unit's
efficiency.
Insulation
Good insulation will be a big help in maintaining desirable
comfort levels. Doors should have weather stripping. Be
sure to caulk around doors and windows.
