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.

Electrical Safety
10 Room Air Conditioner
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 local hardware stores. Ensure that the large slot in the adapter is aligned with the large slot in the receptacle for a proper polarity connection.
To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on each to avoid damaging the ground terminal. Avoid frequently unplugging the power cord as this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.
WARNING: Never use the appliance with a broken adapter.
We strongly discourage the use of an extension cord due to potential safety hazards. For temporary situations, use only CSA certified and UL listed 3-wire grounded extension cords, rated 15 A, 125 V.
