For Your Safety

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.

Prevent Accidents

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air conditioner,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
• 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.

• If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to clean both

sides of the glass first. If the window is a triple-track type with a screen panel included,
remove the screen completely before installation.

• Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to the

separate installation instructions provided with this manual. Save this manual and the
installation instructions for possible future use in removing or reinstalling this unit.

• When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins on front

and rear coils.

Electrical Information

The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated on the serial plate.
Refer to the rating when checking the electrical requirements.
• 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.

• Do not run air conditioner with outside protective cover in place. This could result in

mechanical damage within the air conditioner.

• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
