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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

This air conditioner must be properly
installed in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
Repair or replace immediately all electric
service cords that have become frayed or
otherwise damaged.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. However, if an extension cord
is required to reach the nearest wall receptacle,
use only a UL-listed, 3-wire, grounded, 14
gauge, 15A, 125V appliance extension cord.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS

Because most 2-prong outlets are not
grounded, we strongly advise against using an
adapter plug. However, a temporary
connection may be made where local codes
permit and if the 2-prong wall outlet is properly
grounded. UL-listed adapters are available at
most hardware stores.
When you plug the adapter in, make sure the
larger prong goes into the larger slot to provide
the proper polarity for the power cord.
Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Turn the mode control to OFF and unplug
your air conditioner before making any
repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any
servicing be performed by a qualified
individual.
For Proper Grounding:
Screw the adapter to the outlet, using the
outlet cover screw.
Ground the outlet through the house wiring.
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, hold the adapter close to the outlet
while pulling the plug out. If this is not done,
the grounding connector is likely to break with
repeated use.
If the grounding connector breaks, DO NOT USE
the air conditioner until a proper ground has
again been made.
