Safety
Instructions
Read
before
this
When using this appliance, always
exercise basic safety precautions,
including the following:
●
Use this appliance only for
intended purpose
as
in
this Use and Care Guide.
●
This air conditioner must be
properly instilled in accordance
with the
Instructions
before it is used. See
grounding
instructions on page 7.
●
Never unplug your air conditioner
by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip plug
and pull
straight out from the receptacle.
●
Repair or replace immediately
all electric service cords that
have become frayed or otherwise
damaged.
Do not use a cord that
shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either the
plug or connector end.
INSTRUCTIONS
tips
. Keep the air filter clean. (See
instructions on page 5.)
●
For most efficient cooling, keep
the vent control in the CLOSED
position except when you want to
exhaust air, smoke or odors from
the room.
Don’t let the room get too
hot. Whenever possible, turn the
unit on before the room heats up.
When heat is “stored up” in walls,
furniture, rugs and draperies, your
air conditioner takes longer to
produce the desired comfort
condition.
●
Keep windows and doors
closed. Cool, dry air escapes
when they’re open.
●
Keep furnace floor registers and
cold air returns closed. Cold air
can easily escape through them.
●
Don’t let drapes or furniture block
the front of the unit and restrict air
flow when it is operating.
●
It’s best to operate your air
conditioner at high speed during
extremely hot weather.
●
Keep the outdoor condenser coil
clean. (See page 5.)
●
Turn the air conditioner off
before vacations or extended
absences from home.
Check the Problem Solver on
page 6. It lists causes of minor
operating problems that you can
correct yourself.
