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. 

n

  

This air conditioner must be properly 

installed in accordance with the 

Installation Instructions before it is used. 

n

  

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. A damaged power 

supply cord must be replaced with a 

new power supply cord obtained from 

the manufacturer and not repaired. Do 

not use a cord that shows cracks or 

abrasion damage along its length or at 

either the plug or connector end. 

 

Turn 

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

WARNING!

 

Risk of electric shock. 

Can cause injury or death. This appliance 

must be properly grounded. 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.

n

  

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.

  

n

  

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked

by a qualified electrician to make sure  

the outlet is properly grounded.

n

  

Power cord may include 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.

n

  

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.

WARNING!

 

Risk of electric shock. 

Can cause injury or death.

n

  

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.

n

  

See the Installation Instructions, Electrical 

Requirements section for specific electrical 

connection requirements.
