of the unit. (Save the screw for reattachment
of wire in step 9.)
Slide unit out of cabinet by using the handle
in the center of the base flange.
Wrap the motor, connector plug, electrical
control box and compressor terminal box in
plastic film and make sure no water or other
liquid gets inside any of these parts. lt could
cause damage to the insulation and cause
serious electrical and mechanical problems.
Carefully, clean and hose out the base,
condenser coils and condensate pan. Clean
at least once a year or more often if the
condenser coil and pan collect dirt, sand,
leaves, insects or algae. Also, clean if you
detect an odor coming from the air condi-
tioner.

electrical parts.
Replace the unit in the cabinet.
Reattach the green ground wire.

Plug in the power cord.
NOTE:
Wait 24 hours before starting the air
conditioner again. This allows time for all areas to
dry completely. The water from rainfall or from
normal operation does not harm these compo-
nents.
Understanding normal operating sounds
When your air conditioner is operating normally,
you will hear sounds such as:
l Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing
a “pinging” or “clicking” sound. Water droplets
help to cool the condenser.
l Air movement from the fan, especially on high
fan speed settings.
l Clicks from the thermostat cycle.
Sounds also may be caused by house construc-
tion-such as vibration of the unit due to wall
construction or an unsteady window mounting
area.
