Seasons Air Conditioner Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Always read and follow these safety instructions to prevent injury or property damage.

WARNING

• Plug in the power plug properly to avoid electric shock or fire due to overheating.
• Always install a circuit breaker and a dedicated power circuit.
• Always ensure effective grounding to prevent electric shock.
• Unplug the unit if strange sounds, smell, or smoke emanates from it, as this may cause fire and electric shock.
• Keep firearms away from the unit to prevent fire.
• Ventilate the room before operating the air conditioner if there is a gas leakage from another appliance to prevent explosion, fire, and burns.
• Do not operate or stop the unit by inserting or pulling out the power plug, as this may cause electric shock or fire due to heat generation.
• Do not operate with wet hands or in a damp environment, as this may cause electric shock.
• Do not allow water to run into electric parts, as this may cause machine failure or electric shock.
• Do not use a loose or damaged socket, as this may cause fire and electric shock.
• Do not use the power cord close to heating appliances, as this may cause fire and electric shock.

Through-the-Wall Cabinet Installation

Option 1 - Wood, Metal, or Plastic Molding:

The wood frame should line up with the inside wall.

Option 2 - Plastered Wall with No Molding:

If the plastered wall is to be flush with the cabinet, the wood frame must be set 1/2" (13 mm) into the inside wall.

Install Wood Frame

1. Construct the wood frame according to the provided dimensions.
2. Measure the outside width and height of the frame to determine wall opening dimensions.
3. Cut the opening through the wall.
4. Apply wood preservative to the exposed surface of the frame.
5. Insert the frame into the wall opening, ensuring it is square and level.
6. Attach the frame securely to the wall.

NOTE: Dimension for depth depends on wall thickness and molding type. Do not block louvers. Use 1" or thicker lumber for the wood frame.

Install Cabinet into Wood Frame

1. Insert the cabinet into the framed wall opening. The top of the cabinet should extend 3/4" (19.1 mm) into the room.
2. Use a level to check that the cabinet is level side to side.
3. Check that the air conditioner cabinet is tilted to the outside for water drainage (at least half-a-bubble towards the rear).

• ENERGY SAVER FEATURE: Press the Energy Saver button. In this mode, the fan cycles on and off with the compressor to save energy.
• I SENSE FEATURE (on some models): Activate from the remote control ONLY. The remote acts as a thermostat, allowing temperature control at its location. Point the remote at the unit and press I SENSE. The unit will receive temperature signals from the remote every 3 minutes. The mode stops if the signal is not received for 7 minutes.
• TO SELECT THE OPERATING MODE: Press the Mode button to cycle through Auto, Cool, Dry, Heat (if applicable), and Fan modes.
• To operate on Auto feature: The unit automatically selects cooling, heating, or fan-only operation based on the set temperature and room temperature. Fan speed is automatic.
• To operate on Fan Only: Use for air circulation or to exhaust stale air when cooling is not desired. Any fan speed can be selected. The display shows room temperature.
• To operate on Dry mode: The unit operates primarily as a dehumidifier, with some cooling continuing.
• TIMER: AUTO START/STOP FEATURE:
  • Press the Timer button to initiate Auto Start (TIMER ON) or Auto Stop (TIMER OFF).
  • Use UP/DOWN buttons to set the time in 0.5-hour increments up to 10 hours, then 1-hour increments up to 24 hours.
  • The control counts down the remaining time.
  • Turning the unit ON/OFF or setting the timer to 0.0 cancels the Auto Start/Stop program.

DISPLAYS

The display shows the set temperature in °C or °F and Auto-timer settings. In Fan only mode, it shows the room temperature.

Error Codes:

• AS: Room temperature sensor error. Unplug and replug the unit. Call for service if the error repeats. In Fan only mode, displays "LO" or "HI".
• --: Evaporator temperature sensor error. Unplug and replug the unit. Call for service if the error repeats.
• HS: Electric heating sensor error. Unplug and replug the unit. Call for service if the error repeats.

NOTE: If the unit turns off unexpectedly due to a power outage, it will restart with the previous function setting when power resumes.

Air Directional Louvers

The 4-way air directional louvers allow you to direct airflow Up/Down and Left/Right. Use the center handles to adjust side-to-side airflow.

ADDITIONAL THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

• The Cool circuit has an automatic 3-minute time-delayed start to prevent compressor overheating and circuit breaker tripping. The fan runs during this delay.
• To convert temperature display between Fahrenheit and Celsius, press and hold the Left and Right Temp/Timer buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.

CARE AND CLEANING

Air Filter Cleaning

Check the air filter at least once a month. Clean filters prevent frost buildup on cooling coils.

CAUTION

Unplug the unit before cleaning to prevent shock or fire hazards.

• Open the front panel.
• Pull the filter up and out by the center.
• Wash the filter with liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and shake off excess water. Ensure the filter is completely dry before replacing. Alternatively, vacuum the filter clean.

Note: Never use hot water over 40°C (104°F) to clean the filter. Never operate the unit without the air filter.

Cabinet Cleaning

• Unplug the air conditioner.
• Dust the cabinet and front with an oil-free cloth or wipe with a cloth dampened in warm water and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse and wipe dry.
• Never use harsh cleaners, wax, or polish on the cabinet front.
• Wring excess water from the cloth before wiping around controls.
• Plug in the air conditioner.

Winter Storage

If storing the air conditioner during winter, remove it carefully from the window, cover it with plastic, or return it to its original carton.
