• Do not use aerosol sprays or other solvents near the
machine. This may cause plastic deformation or possibly
damage the electrical components of the machine.
• The air conditioner unit must always be stored and
transported upright, otherwise you may cause
irreparable damage to the compressor. In case of
doubt, we suggest that you wait for at least 24 hours
before you start the air-conditioning unit.
• Avoid restarting the air conditioning unit unless three
minutes have passed since being turned off, or the
compressor may get damaged.
Temporary grounding
Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly discourage
the use of an adapter plug. If an adapter plug must be used
for a temporary connection, use only a UL-listed adapter with a
minimum capacity of 120V~60Hz, 15A, and 1800W. Make sure
that the large slot of the adapter is aligned with the large slot
in the outlet.
Make sure that a proper
ground exists before use.
