BeforetoOperation
i. Plug in the power cord properly.
2. Use a dedicated circuit. Overloading the line could create a fire hazard.
3, Do not use an extension cord. See page 10 for more details.
4, Do not start/stop operation by plugging/unplugging the power cord.
5, If the power cord is damaged and requires replacement, have an Authorized
Servicer install an exact replacement part.
1. Being exposed to direct airflow for an extended period of time could be
hazardous to your health. Do not expose occupants, pets, or plants to direct
airflow for extended periods of time.
2. Due to the possibility of oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room when used
together with stoves or other heating devices
3, Do not use this air conditioner for non-specified special purposes (e.g.
preserving precision devices, food, pets, plants, and art objects). Such usage
could damage the items.
4. The air conditioner is a consumer comfort appliance, not a precision climate
control system.
1. Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can
occur when handling sharp metal edges.
2. Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner. Exposure to water can
destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock.
3, When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and breaker are turned
off. The fan rotates at a very high speed during operation, There is a
possibility of injury if the unit's power is accidentally triggered on while
cleaning inner parts of the unit
For repair and maintenance, contact an Authorized Service Center. See the
warranty page for details or call (800) 243-0000. Have your model number and
serial number available. They should be written on page 2 of this manual.

We strongly discourage the use of an adapter due to potential safety hazards.
For temporary connections, use only a UL-listed adapter, available from most
Io_1 hardware stores. Ensure that the large slot inthe adapter is aligned with
the large slot in the receptacle for a proper polar_ connection.
To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on each to avoid
damaging the ground terminal. Avoid f_uently unplugging the power cord as
this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.

Installation
Clearance
Proper clearance enhances the cooling efficiency of the unit and prevents heat
radiation of the condenser.
1. if a storm window presents interference, fasten a 2" wide wood strip to the inner
window sill across the full width of the sill. The wood strip should be thick
enough to raise the height of the window sill so that the unit can be installed
without interference by the storm window frame.
2. See Figure. B. The top of the wood strip should be approximately 3/#, higher
than the storm window frame (Storm Window Frame) or wood strip (Outdoors)
to help condensation to drain properly to the outside.
3. install a second wood strip (approximately 6" long by 1V2"wide and same
thickness as first strip) in the center of the sill flush against the back off the
inner sill. This will raise the L bracket as shown Figure. B.
4. If the distance between Storm Window Frame and Wood Strip Mounted on Top
of inner Sill is more than 1", two of wood strips are not necessary.
