These instructions will be found on a separatepage included with this manual or in the mounting kitassembly. Follow these instructions carefully. Keep theseinstructions with this manual for future reference. Your unitwill be one of the following three designs:• Unit with a window mounting kitThese models are designed for mounting though anopening in a wall. These units can be adapted towindow installation by using the optional window mountingkit supplied with your unit.• Unit without a window mounting kitNo window mounting kit is supplied with the unit.These models are designed for mounting through anopening in a wall. These units can be adapted towindow installation by purchasing an optional windowmounting kit. Consult your dealer to choose the kit thatis appropriate for your model and installation.Room Heat PumpsHeat pumps work by moving heat instead of creating it. In thesummer, the cool indoor coil absorbs heat from your roomand moves it outdoors, providing cooling. In the winter, heatpumps reverse this operation. By lowering the temperatureof the outdoor coil below the outdoor temperature, the heatpump absorbs the heat from outdoors and moves it insideyour house. This heat transferring process is very efficient.For example, at 45°F outdoor temperature, a heat pump canprovide 2 ½ watts of heat for every watt of electricity itconsumes.As outdoor temperatures drop, the heating capacity andefficiency of the heat pump declines. At temperatures below45°F, it is likely that ice will form on the outdoor coil. Heatpump units are designed to operate as a heat pump aboveapproximately 40°F. Below 40°F, these units switch automaticallyfrom reverse cycle heat pump to auxiliary electricheating. No defrost is required. There is no minimumoperating temperature.Normal Care and MaintenanceCAUTION WARNINGInstalling To avoid property an air conditioner damage, personal through injury a wallrequires or death due extensive to electrical carpentry shock, and/or turn unit masonryOFF experience. and remove Thru-wall plug from installations wall outlet before performedinspecting by unit inexperienced or performing maintenance.unqualifiedindividuals can result in costly damage tohome.Annual InspectionIt is suggested that your unit be inspected by your dealer orservicer once a year.

Operating Controls section showscontrol panel of unit purchased and gives detailed informationabout operation of controls.Airflow Around UnitSelect the highest fan speed and set temperature control toits coldest position. When the desired temperature isreached, slowly move the temperature control toward awarmer setting until the compressor shuts off. The thermostatwill then cycle the compressor on and off to maintain thisselected temperature. Adjust the fan speed for desired aircirculation.To install, remove the unit chassis from the outer case. Insertthe condensate drain cup through the recessed ½” hole onthe back center of the outer case. Once inserted, place a ½”diameter hose or tube on the drain cup bottom spout. Thehose allows you to route where you want the excess water togo. Reinsert the unit chassis into the outer case. The unitbasepan overflow hole will be positioned directly above thedrain cup and will catch any water that might run out.Condensatedrain CupOuter CaseBAFFLESTEMP/TIMERSet +1/2" diameterHoseOUTdOORLOUVERSINdOOR IndoorGRILLE GrilleChanging Airflow Direction BafflesAirflow on unit may be diverted left or right from center bybaffles. Upward and downward air discharge is provided bytilting louvers. Adjust baffles and tilt louvers for desiredairflow pattern.Airflow Around UnitCheck the indoor grille and outdoor louvers for obstructionsto airflow. do not block the airflow to and from the unit. If airis obstructed and/or deflected back into the unit, the airconditioner’s compressor may cycle on and off rapidly. Thiscould damage your unit.Drain Cup Installation and UseYour air conditioner uses a system where the water removedfrom the indoor air (condensate) is channeled to the outdoorside of the unit. The outdoor fan blade has a “slinger” ringattached to it that dips into the water and slings the wateronto the outdoor coil surface. This is the sound of water youhear during normal operation. The water quickly evaporateson this warm surface and improves the efficiency of your airconditioner. In normal conditions the unit can evaporate thewater as fast as it is removed from the indoor air.However, in very humid conditions excess amounts of watermay drip off the unit chassis. If this proves to be a problem,install the condensate drain cup included with the unit toroute excess water where it would not be a problem (seeillustration).Switchover Thermostat ControlEmergency heat switch overrides heat pump (compressor)and starts auxiliary electrical heater. When switch is ON,heat pump is locked out.• Use emergency switch only when heat pump fails toprovide adequate heat. Cause of heat pump malfunctionshould be determined by authorized servicer. Costof operating unit will increase when emergency heatswitch is engaged.Only for Qualified Service PersonnelTo access and engage emergency switch:• Unplug unit.1. Remove front grille, air filter, and plastic front, as describedin Installation Instructions.2. Slide chassis out of case about two inches.3.
