For Your Safety
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for
flammability and other warnings.
Prevent Accidents
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when
using your air conditioner, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have
chosen. This information can be found on the serial plate, which is
located on the side of the cabinet and behind the grille.
If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably
want to clean both sides of the glass first. If the window is a triple-track
type with a screen panel included, remove the screen completely
before installation.
Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed
according to the separate installation instructions provided with this
manual. Save this manual and the installation instructions for
possible future use in removing or reinstalling this unit.
When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp
metal fins on front and rear coils.
Electrical Information
The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated
on the serial plate. Refer to the rating when checking the electrical
requirements.
Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock
and fire hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is
equipped with a three-prong grounding plug and a current leakage
detection device for protection against shock & firehazards.
Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall
receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately
grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a
qualified electrician install the proper receptacle.
Do not run air conditioner with outside protective cover in place. This
could result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
Do not block inside air flow with blinds, curtains or furniture; or
outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for
efficient and satisfactory operation.
Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A
window that faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.
Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does
not escape up the chimney and into the duct work.
Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest
part of the day.
Clean the air filter as recommended in the section “Care and Cleaning”
Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep
warm air out and cool air in.
External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce
the air conditioner work load.
Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers
and dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.
