1.To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the unit is

installed securely and firmly.

2.Install the unit where the sunlight does not shine directly

on the unit.

3.The outside of the cabinet must extend outward for at

least 12" and there should be no obstacles, such as a
fence or wall, within 20" from the back of the cabinet
because it will prevent heat radiation of the condenser.
Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce the cooling
efficiency of the air conditioner.

4.Install the unit a little slanted so the back is slightly lower

than the front (about 

1

/

2

"). This will help force con-densed

water to the outside.

5.Install the unit from the bottom about 30"~60" above the

floor level.

The setting conditions must be checked prior to initial
starting. The undermentioned items are especially important
checking points when the installation is finished.

1. Grounding wire (Green or Green and Yellow) is provided

in the power cord. The green wire must be grounded.

2. Connect to a single-outlet 15A circuit.

(or 20A circuit for Electric Heater Model)

3. To avoid vibration or noise, make sure the air

conditioner is installed securely.

4 Avoid placing furniture or draperies in front of the air inlet

and outlet.

The air conditioner must be installed horizontally or tilted
slightly to the outside for proper water drainage.
On exceptionally hot and humid days the air conditioner
may overflow conclensed water.
If the air conditioner is used in hot and a high humidity
zone, exchange the 

HOLE RUBBER for the 

DRAIN

PIPE.(See figure 21, figure 22.)

The air conditioner employs a proper drain method whereby
the condensate water (moisture removed from the air) is
drained to the outside. In very humid weather, (and for
reverse cycle models in the reverse mode) excessive
condensate water removed from the air may cause some
water to collect. To remove this excess water you can install
the drain pan as detailed below.
1. Remove the hole rubber from the base-pan(for some models).
2. Install the drain pan to the left corner of the cabinet 

with 4 (or 2) screws.

3. Connect the drain hose to the outlet located at the

bottom of the drain pan.
You can purchase the drain hose or tubing locally to
satisfy your particular needs. (Drain hose is not supplied)

All side louvers of the cabinet must remain exposed
to the outside of the structure.

1. Before installing the room air conditioner, please

install the knob. (If it is not fixed on the unit.)

2. Remove the screws which fasten the cabinet at

both sides and at the back.

3. Slide the unit from the cabinet by gripping the base

pan handle and pulling forward while 
bracing the cabinet.

4. Slide the air conditioner into the case.

Reinstall the 2 screws removed earlier on each side
of the case.

5. Stuff the foam between the top of the unit and the

wall to prevent air and insects from getting into the
room.

6. Attach the front grille to the case by inserting the

tabs on the grille into the slots on the front of the
case. Push the grille in until it snaps into place.

When you detach the front grille from the case,
push the grille to your right side and pull it toward
you.

7. Lift the inlet grill and secure the front grille with a

screw. Lower the inlet grille into place.
(In case of some models, you can secure the front grille
from the right side or lower side.)

1. If you want to pull out the filter upward, open the

inlet grille slightly. Turn inside out the front grille.
Disassemble the inlet grille from the front grille
with separating the hinged part by inserting a "—"
type screw-driver tip.
Rotate the inlet grille 180 degrees and insert the
hooks into the lower holes of front grille.
Then, insert the filter (See Figure 32, 33)

2. Attach the front grille to the cabinet by inserting the

tabs on the grille into the tabs on the front of the
cabinet. Push the grille in until it snaps into place.
(See Figue 34)

3. Lift the inlet grille and secure it with a type A screw

through the front grille.
(See Figure 35)

4. If you want to pull out the filter downward, use the

reversible inlet grille without change.
(The grille is already assembled for that way.)

Figure 36 is a brief description of the important components and their function in what is called the refrigeration
system. This will help you to understand the refrigeration cycle and the flow of the refrigerant in the cooling cycle.
