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.

Please:
• Install your air conditioner in a window that
will hold the weight, and secure the air
conditioner according to the Installation
Instructions.
• Connect the air conditioner to the proper
kind of outlet with the correct electrical
supply and ground. (See the Installation
Instructions.)
• Make sure the air conditioner is the correct
size for the area you want to cool.
• Use the air conditioner only to do what a
window air conditioner is designed to do.
• Make sure the air conditioner is not used
by anyone unable to operate it properly.
