IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.

■ 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.

■ Turn the mode control to

OFF

and unplug your air conditioner before making any repairs.

NOTE:

We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, 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.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

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. 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.

For Proper Grounding:

■ Screw the adapter to the outlet, using the

outlet cover screw.

■ 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

the air conditioner until a proper ground has again been made.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.
