IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION
BEFORE USING
• This air conditioner must be
properly installed in accordance
with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
• Repair or replace immediately
all electric service cords that have
become frayed or otherwise
damaged.
Extension Cord 115V
If an extension cord is required to
reach the nearest wall receptacle,
use only a UL-listed, 3-wire,
grounded, 14 gauge, 15A, 125V
appliance extension cord.
• Turn the mode control knob to
and unplug your air conditioner
before making any repairs.
NOTE:
that any servicing be performed by
a qualified individual.
We strongly recommend
OFF
Adapter Plug 115V
Because most 2-prong outlets are
not grounded, we strongly advise
against using an adapter plug.
However, a temporary connection
may be made where local codes
permit and if the 2-prong wall outlet is properly grounded.
This is a temporary method
and is for 115-volt models
only. UL-listed adapters are
available at most hardware
stores.
When you plug the adapter in,
make sure the larger prong goes
into the larger slot to provide the
proper polarity for the power cord.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR PROPER GROUNDING:
1 Screw the adapter to the outlet,
using the outlet cover screw.
2 Ground the outlet through the house
wiring.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, hold the
adapter close to the outlet while
pulling the plug out. If this is not
done, the grounding connector is
likely to break with repeated use.
If the grounding connector breaks,
DO NOT USE
until a proper ground has again
been made.

Fingertip pressure on the horizontal louvers
adjusts the air direction up or down.
Vertical louvers adjust the air direction to the
left or right.
The vent control is located on the inside of
the air louvers. When set at closed, only the air
inside the room is circulated, cooled and
filtered.
When set at open, some indoor air will be
exhausted from the room. This will reduce the
cooling effect.
