4. CHECK FOR ANYTHING THAT COULD  BLOCK

AIRFLOW - check area outside of window for things

such as shrubs, trees, or awnings. Inside, be sure

furniture, drapes, or blinds will not stop  proper airflow.

5.

Check the available electrical service

 - power supply must

be the same as that shown on the unit serial nameplate.

(See Owner’s Guide for serial plate location.) Power cord

is 48''long. Be sure you have an  outlet near.

All models have a 3-prong service plug to provide proper

service and safe positive grouding. Do not change plug in

any way.  Do not use an adapter plug. If your present wall

outlet does not match your plug, call a qualified electrician

to make the needed change.

6.

Carefully unpack air conditioner 

- remove all packing

material. Protect floor or carpet from damage. Two

people should be used to move and install unit.

Avoid fire hazard or

electric shock. Do not use an extension
cord or an adapter plug. Do not remove
any prong from the power cord.
