TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE UNIT:

NEVER TRANSPORT OR TURN THE APPLIANCE UPSIDE DOWN OR ON ITS SIDE. IF THIS OCCURS, WAIT 6 HOURS BEFORE TURNING THE APPLIANCE ON, 24 HOURS IS RECOMMENDED.

(After the unit has been on its side, oil needs to return to the compressor to ensure proper function. Without allowing the unit this time (6-24 hours) The unit may function for only a short time, and then the compressor will break down from lack of oil).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The outlet’s power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the rating label on the back of the appliance;

The outlet and electrical circuit are adequate for the appliance;

The outlet is a 3-hole grounded outlet. If this is not the case, you must choose another outlet.

Failure to follow these important safety instructions absolves the manufacturer of all liability.

If it becomes necessary, the power cable must be replaced by a qualified professional only.

The instructions below will enable you to prepare your air conditioner for operation as efficiently as possible.

Before use, make sure the air intake and outlet grilles are unobstructed.
