Important 

Safety

   instructions

using this appliance.

When using this appliance.

before

always

exercise 

 safety precautions,

including the following:

● 

Use this appliance only for its

intended purpose  as described in
this Use and Care Book.

● 

This air conditioner must be

properly 

 in accordance

with the Instillation Instructions
before it is used. See 
grounding
instructions on page 3.

Never unplug your air conditioner

by pulling 

 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.

SAVE THESE

. Keep the air filter clean. (See
instructions on page 6.)

. For most efficient cooling, keep

the ventilation 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 outdoor condenser coil

clean. (See page 6.)

. Turn the air conditioner off

before vacations or extended
absences from home.
