IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock
or personal injury.

■ 

Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual. 

This air conditioner must be properly
installed in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used. 

Never unplug your air conditioner by
pulling on the power cord. Always grip 
plug firmly and pull straight out from the
receptacle. 

■ 

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. 

■ 

Turn the mode control to 

OFF

and unplug

your air conditioner before making any
repairs or cleaning.

NOTE:

We strongly recommend that any

servicing be performed by a qualified
individual.

■ 

For your safety…do not store or use
combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity 
of this or any other appliance.

■ 

All air conditioners contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed
prior to product disposal. If you are getting
rid of an old product with refrigerants, check
with the company handling disposal about
what to do.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For
personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric 
shock hazard from this appliance.

Power cord includes a current interrupter
device. A test and reset button is provided on
the plug case. The device should be tested on a
periodic basis by first pressing the 

TEST

button

and then the 

RESET

button. If the 

TEST

button

does not trip or if the 

RESET

button will not

stay engaged, discontinue use of the air
conditioner and contact a qualified 
service technician.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, 
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded 
3-prong wall outlet.

The air conditioner should always be 
plugged into its own individual electrical 
outlet which has a voltage rating that matches
the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.

See the Installation Instructions, 

Electrical

Requirements

section for specific electrical

connection requirements.
