For Your Safety

WARNING

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.

If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to clean both
sides of the glass first.

Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to the

removing or reinstalling this unit.

WARNING

Electrical Information

The complete electrical rating of your new protable 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 without 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.

Do not insert or place fingers or objects into the air discharge area on top of the unit.
Do not start or stop the air conditioner by unplugging the power cord or turning off the power at the electrical box.
Do not cut or damage the power cord.
If the power cord is damaged, it should only be replaced by an authorized Electrolux servicer.
In the event of a malfunction (sparks, burning smell, etc.), immediately stop the operation, disconnect the power cord, and call an authorized
Electrolux servicer.
Do not operate the air conditioner with wet hands.
Do not pull on the power cord.
