Operation of Safety Plug
Your portable air conditioner is supplied with a Leakage-Current Detection and Interruption (LCDI) safety
plug. This device provides protection to reduce the risk of fire due to arcing faults in the power supply cord.
Before using your portable air conditioner, follow the instructions below to ensure that the LCDI plug is
working properly:
1. Plug the power cord to a grounded outlet.
2. Press the TEST button on the LCDI plug. This should trip the plug and cut the power to the air
conditioner. If the plug does not trip and you are able to turn on the unit, please contact Avallon
support.
DO NOT USE YOUR PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER IF THE TEST FAILS.
Press the RESET button to start using your air conditioner.
Do not use the TEST and RESET buttons as an ON/OFF switch.
Note: Electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please contact your local
recycling center for more information about how to recycle electronic waste.

First Time Operating Instructions:
Before use, make sure all packaging labels and materials are removed from the unit. Be sure to keep
track of all included parts and pieces before discarding packaging materials. It is advised that you keep
the original box and packaging materials in case you need to move or ship the appliance in the future.
Allow the unit to stand for at least 24 hours before you use it; this allows the cooling components time to
settle from transit. The instruction manual should be read before use.
