For Your Safety

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.

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 serial plate, which is located on the side of the cabinet and behind the
grille.

• 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.

• Do not cover appliance with clothes of any other objects.

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 wall 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 with 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.

Energy Saving Ideas

SZ000373(En)-YaoKong(p1-5) 2004.11.10, 4:54 PM4

• Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with shrubs,
enclosures, or other buildings.

• The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory
operation.

• Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that faces north
is best because it is shaded most of the day.

• Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape up the
chimney and into the duct work.

• Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.

• Clean the air filter as recommended in the section “Care and Cleaning.”

• Proper insulation and water stripping in your home will help keep warm air out and cool air
in.

• External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air conditioner’s
work load.

• Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and dishwashers
during the coolest part of the day.
