Prevent Accidents
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air
conditioner, follow basic precautions, including the following:
* Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen. This
information can be found on the nameplate, which is located on the side of the
cabinet.
* If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to clean both
sides of the glass first. If the window is a triple-track type with a screen panel included,
remove the screen completely before installation.
* Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to the
separate installation instructions provided with this manual. Save this manual and the
installation instructions for possible future use in removing or reinstalling this unit.
* When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins on
front and rear coils.
Electrical Information
The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated on the serial
plate. Refer to the rating when checking the electrical requirements.
Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire
hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.
* Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded walt receptacle. If the
wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a
time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper
receptacle.
* Do not run air conditioner without outside protective cover in place. This could
result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
* Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
