WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury 

to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part 

of your air conditioner unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other services
should be referred to a qualified technician.

• If the power cord becomes worn or damaged,

the cord should only be replaced by a qualified
service technician using genuine replacement
parts.

• The air conditioner should be plugged into its

own grounded 15A, 60 Hz., 120 VAC circuit. 

• Do not plug other appliances into the same

outlet; it can overload the circuit and cause a fire
or electric shock. 

• Do not remove the round grounding prong from

the plug. It can result in the risk of electric shock. 

• This air conditioner is not designed for use by

young children. Young children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with
or climb on the air conditioner. 

• Be sure all packaging materials are removed

from the air conditioner before use. It can result
in personal injury.

• Do not disassemble or modify the air conditioner

or the power cord. It can result in the risk of
electric shock or fire.

• Do not place the power cord or air conditioner

near a heater, radiator, or other heat source. It
can result in the risk of electric shock or fire.

• Do not use this or any appliance near flammable

gases or liquids or other combustibles, such as
gasoline, benzene, thinner, etc. It can result in
the risk of electric shock or fire.

• Make sure the power cord is plugged firmly and

completely into the outlet. It can result in the risk
of electric shock or fire.

• Do not start or stop operation by plugging in or

unplugging the power cord. It can result in the
risk of electric shock.

• If the air conditioner is making unusual sounds

or is emitting smoke or an unusual odor, unplug
it immediately. It can result in the risk of electric
shock or fire.

• Do not use if the electrical socket is loose or

damaged. It can result in the risk of electric
shock or fire.

• Do not operate with wet hands or in a damp

environment. It can result in the risk of electric
shock.

• Do not use this or any electrical appliance if you

smell gas. It can result in the risk of fire or
explosion.

• Turn off and unplug the air conditioner before

cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock.

• Do not clean the unit with water. Water can enter

the unit and damage the insulation, creating a
shock hazard. If water enters the unit, unplug it
immediately and contact Customer Service. It
can result in the risk of electric shock. 

• Use two or more people to lift and install the

unit. Failure to do so can cause back injury or
other injuries.
