SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
s
Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner's
Manual.
s
This air conditioner must be properly
installed in accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used.
s
Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly
and pull straight out from the receptacle.
s
Repair or replace immediately all electric
service cords that have become frayed or
otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either the plug or
connector end.
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For
personal safety, this appliance must be properly
grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.

s
Turn the mode control OFF and unplug
your air conditioner before making any
repairs or cleaning.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any
servicing be performed by a qualified
individual.
s
For your safety...do not store or use
combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
s
All air conditioners contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed
prior to product disposal. If you are getting
rid of an old product with refrigerants, check
with the company handling disposal about
what to do.
The air conditioner should always be plugged
into its own individual electrical outlet
which has a voltage rating that matches the
rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical
Requirements section for specific electrical
connection requirements.
