Air Conditioner Safety

Your safety and the safety of others are
very important.
We have provided many important safety messages
in this manual and on your appliance. Always read
and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards
that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert
symbol and either the word "DANGER" or
"WARNING". These words mean:
DANGER
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential
hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of
injury, and tell you what can happen if the
instructions are not followed.
