IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have

chosen. This information can be found on the serial plate, which

is located on the side of the cabinet and behind the grille.

Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize

shock and fire hazards, proper grounding is important. The power

cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection

against shock hazards.

Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall

receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately

grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker,

have a qualified electrician install the proper receptacle.

Ensure the receptacle is accessible after the unit installation.

Do not run air conditioner without side protective cover in place.

This could result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.

Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

WARNING For your safety

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in

the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an

adaptor plug. Do not remove any prong from the power cord.

WARNING Electrical Information

NOTE For some models, the power

supply cord with this air conditioner

contains a current detection device

designed to reduce the risk of fire.

Please refer to the section Operation

of Current Device for details.

In the event that the power supply

cord is damaged, it cannot be

repaired-it must be replaced with a

cord from the Product Manufacturer.

CARE AND CLEANING

Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit

before cleaning to prevent chock or fire hazards.

filter clean.

Never use hot water over 40 C(104 F) to

clean the air filter. Never attempt to operate the

unit without the air filter.

Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent

shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and front may

be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with

a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water

and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse

thoroughly and wipe dry.

Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the

cabinet front.

Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before

wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around

the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
