 Safety

Instructions

Read 

 instructions before

 this appliance.

When 

using this appliance, always

exercise basic safety precautions,
including the following:

● 

Use this appliance only for i@

intended purpose  as described in
this Use and Care Book.

● 

This air conditioner must be

properly 

 in accordance

with the Installation Instructions
before it is used. See 

grounding

instructions on page 3.

. Never unplug your 

by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip plug 

 and pull

straight out from the receptacle.

Repair or replace immediately

 electric service cords that

have become frayed or otherwise

 Do not use a cord that

shows cracks or abrasion damage

 or at either the

plug or connector end.

 THESE

 

 

 

 

 tips

 Keep the air filter clean. (See

instructions on page 6.)

● 

For most efficient cooling, keep

the vent control in the CLOSE
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 6.)

● 

Turn the air conditioner off

before vacations or extended
absences from home.
