When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be taken, including the

the way into the socket. Failure to do so
can cause an electric shock, overheating
or even a fire.
• Do not remove the power plug while the
machine is operating except in an
emergency.
• Never use an extension cord or splice the
power cord.
• Never share the same power outlet with
another electric appliance.
• Do not insert the power plug into the
outlet with wet hands.
• Never insert fingers or objects into the air
intake or outlet vents.
• Do not aim chilled or heated air directly
onto the body for long periods.
• Disconnect the power supply
immediately if you smell burning or
smoke and contact your service center.
• Do not attempt to repair the air-
conditioner yourself.
• Consult with a professional electrician to
ensure that adequate circuit breakers,
fuses and other safety devices are in
place.
• Disconnect the unit whenever it will be
out of service for extended periods.
• Always disconnect the power supply
before cleaning the machine.
• Never pull on the cord to remove the
power plug.

an electric shock and malfunction.
