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. 

■ 

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. 

■ 

Turn the mode control 

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. 

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.
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.
