Prevent Accidents

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air conditioner,

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.
