ATTENTION INSTALLING PERSONNEL
RECOGNIZE THIS SYMBOL AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION.
As a professional installer you have an obligation to know the product better than the customer. This
includes all safety precautions and related items.
Prior to actual installation, thoroughly familiarize yourself with this Instruction Manual. Pay special
attention to all safety warnings. Often during installation or repair it is possible to place yourself in a
position which is more hazardous than when the unit is in operation.
Remember, it is your responsibility to install the product safely and to know it well enough to be able to
instruct a customer in its safe use.
Safety is a matter of common sense...a matter of thinking before acting. Most dealers have a list of
specific good safety practices...follow them.
The precautions listed in this Installation Manual are intended as supplemental to existing practices.
However, if there is a direct conflict between existing practices and the content of this manual, the
precautions listed here take precedence.

Unit Accessories
Thisunitisdesignedforthrough-the-wallinstallationinnew
or existing buildings. To complete the installation in an
existing wall sleeve, a TWKG rear louver panel kit, a
TWEAK or TWFAK adapter kit is required.
If the sleeve is a GE wall sleeve, use the TWKG rear louver
panel kit. If the sleeve is an Emerson wall sleeve, use the
TWEAK adapter kit, If the sleeve is a Fedders or Freidrich
wall sleeve, use the TWFAK adapter kit.
The chassis and wall sleeve are shipped separate.
Operating Instructions

1. Remove the grille and filter from the front panel (Figure
10). Doing one side at a time, press the tab on the front
panel (Figure 10) with one hand while lifting the grille
with the other.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. The unit is equipped with a rubber-grommet-mounted
compressor. These grommets are factory set and
require no adjustment.
2. Obstruction to air flow must be checked and removed.
Check the indoor and outdoor grilles for obstructions.
The unit must be located where curtains, furniture,
trees, or other objects do not block air flow to and from
the unit. If air is obstructed and/or deflected back into
the unit, the air conditioner’s compressor may cycle on
and off rapidly. This could cause damage to the
compressor.

set by a servicer.
COMPRESSOR
The compressor is hermetically sealed, permanently lubri-
cated and requires no additional oiling.
FRONT PANEL AND GRILLE
The front panel and grille can be cleaned with a mild soap
ordetergent. Donotusehydrocarbon-basedcleaners(e.g.
acetone, benzene, naphtha, gasoline, etc.) to clean the

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Normal Operating Sounds and
Conditions
Toachievecontinuingtopperformanceandhighefficiency,
a regular cleaning/inspection schedule must be estab-
lished. Maintaining this schedule can be accomplished by
either a local maintenance staff or an authorized servicer
and must follow the instructions described in this manual.
POPPING OR GURGLING SOUNDS
This sound is the refrigerant traveling through the lines.
This is a normal sound which may be heard for a few
seconds after the unit shuts off.
• If the unit is operated in a dusty climate, dust may
collect in the basepan and clog the condenser coil. It is
advisable to remove the unit from the sleeve and
thoroughly clean the basepan and condenser coil on a
periodic basis.
WATER TRICKLING SOUNDS
This sound is produced by the water as it is picked up and
run over the coils. This procedure improves the efficiency
of the unit and helps with water removal.
• If the unit is installed ocean side or in a corrosive
atmosphere, its life may be greatly reduced by the
corrosive environment. Under these conditions, the
unitshouldberemovedfromthesleeveandcompletely
cleaned once a year. At that time any scratches or
blisters on the painted surfaces should be sanded and
repainted.
WATER DRIPPING
Water will collect in the basepan during high humidity days.
STARTING DELAY
You may notice a short delay in the startup if you try to
restarttheunittoosoonafterturningitofforifyouadjustthe
thermostat right after the compressor has shut off. This
delay protects the compressor.
Obtaining Service
In the unlikely event this unit requires repair or servicing
beyond what is covered in this manual, contact an autho-
rized service organization.
To obtain an authorized servicer, contact your sales repre-
sentative or agency.
