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.• Unit with a separate sleeveSome Builder models are designed such that the outercase and the chassis can be purchased separately.Through-the-wall installation instructions are includedwith the outer case. These models can be adapted towindow installation by purchasing an optional mountingkit.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 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 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 it itconsumes.As outdoor temperatures drop, the heating capacity andefficiency of the heat pump declines. At temperatures below45°F, it 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 MaintenanceWARNINGTo avoid property damage, personal injuryinjuryor death due to to electrical shock, turn turn unitfanOFF control and OFF remove and plug remove from plug wall outlet from wall beforeinspecting outlet before unit inspecting or performing unit maintenance.or performingmaintenance.Annual InspectionIt It is suggested that your unit be inspected by your dealer orservicer once a year.

Use both hands to grasp basepan andpull remaining chassis from outer case.PLASTIC FRONTBASEPANCLIPCHASSISNOTE: Basepan clip is shipped in plastic bag with mountingscrew and condensate drain cup. Install clip after reinsertingchassis into outer case to prevent accidental chassis removal.General Operating InstructionsWhile operation of all units is similar, controls vary slightlyfrom model to model. Operating Controls section showscontrol panel of unit purchased and gives detailed informationabout operation of controls.Drain Cup Installation and Use (on some models)Your 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 water ontothe outdoor coil surface. This is the sound of water you hearduring normal operation. The water quickly evaporates onthis 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 below).To install, remove the unit chassis from the outer case. Insertthe condensate drain cup through the recessed ½” hole onthe right side bottom flange of the outer case. Once inserted,place a ½” diameter hose or tube on the drain cup bottomspout. The hose allows you to route where you want theexcess water to go. Reinsert the unit chassis into the outercase. The unit basepan overflow hole will be positioneddirectly above the drain cup and will catch any water thatmight run out.Initial Start-Up and CoolingSelect 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.CondensateDrain CupOuter CaseBAFFLES1/2" DiameterHoseINDOORGRILLEOUTDOORLOUVERSChanging 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 obstructions toairflow. Do not block the airflow to and from the unit. If air isobstructed and/or deflected back into the unit, the airconditioner’s compressor may cycle on and off rapidly. Thiscould damage your unit.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.To access and engage emergency switch:1. Remove front grille, air filter, and plastic front, as describedin Installation Instructions.2. Remove basepan clip.3. Slide chassis out of case about two inches.4. Locate access hole for emergency switch above label onright front of control box.5. To start emergency heat, insert flathead screwdriver intoslot and turn counterclockwise until switch-stop is reached.6. Return chassis to case.7. Replace basepan clip, plastic front, air filter, and frontgrille.55

Eachtouch of the Increase / Decrease pads on theunit or the Increase + / Decrease – pads onthe remote control will set the timer in0.5 hour or 1 hour intervals (the intervals is0.5 hour as the delay timer below 10 hours;the intervals is 1 hour as the delay timer above10 hours ). The Set light will turn on while setting.To review the remaining time on the TIMER0.5 1–24hr -24hr timer, press the TIMER0.5 1–24hr -24hr pad on theTIMERunit or theDELAY0.5-24HR pad on the remote control.Use the Increase / Decrease pads on the unitor the Increase + / Decrease – pads on theremote control to set a new time if desired.To cancel the timer, press the TIMER 0.5-24hr 1–24hr paduntil the light on theTIMER 0.5-24hr 1–24hr pad goes off.Remote Control To ensure proper operation, aim the remotecontrol at the signal receiver on the airconditioner. The remote control signal has a range ofup to 20 feet. Make sure nothing is between the air conditionerand the remote control that could block thesignal. Make sure batteries are freshand installedcorrectly as indicated on the remote control.Cool ModeUse the Cool mode at Low, Med, High or Auto FanSpeed for cooling. Use the Temperature Increase /Decrease pads to set the desired temperaturebetween 61°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.The compressor will cycle on and off to keepthe room at the set level of comfort.Set the thermostat at a lower number and the indoorair will become cooler. Set the thermostat at a highernumber and the indoor air will become warmer.NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned onwhile set to a Cool setting or if turned from a fan settingto a Cool setting, it may take approximately 3 minutesfor the compressor to start and cooling to begin.This time delay is required to protect the compressor.Cooling DescriptionsFor Normal Cooling—Select the Cool mode andHigh or Med fan with a middle set temperature.For Maximum Cooling—Select the Cool modeand High fan with a lower set temperature.For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling—Select theCool mode and Low fan with a middle settemperature.Energy Saver ModeControls the fan.ON—The fan will cycle on and off with thecompressor. This results in wider variations ofroom temperature and humidity. Normally usedwhen the room is unoccupied. NOTE: The fan maycontinue to run for a short time after the compressor cycles off.OFF—The fan runs all the time, while thecompressor cycles on and off.Fan Only ModeUse the Fan Only Mode at Low, Med or High fanspeed to provide air circulation and filteringwithout cooling. Since fan only settings do notprovide cooling, a Set temperature cannot beentered. The room temperature will appearin the display.NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used when in theFan Only Mode.Heat Mode (On some models)Use the Heat mode at Low, Med, High or Auto FanSpeed for heating. Use the Temperature Increase/Decrease pads to set the desired temperaturebetween 61°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.Auto Fan SpeedSet to Auto fan speed for the fan speed to automaticallyset to the speed needed to provide optimumcomfort settings with the set temperature.If the room needs more cooling, the fan speedwill automatically increase. If the room needs lesscooling, the fan speed will automatically decrease.NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used when in theFan Only Mode.Power Outage Recovery FeatureIn the case of a power outage or interruption, theunit will automatically re-start in the settings lastused after the power is restored. If the Timer/Delay0.5-24hrfeature was set, it will resume countdown. You mayneed to set a new time if desired.1313
