IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage constituting a risk of electric shock is present within your portable air conditioner.
This symbol indicates that there are important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying your portable air conditioner.

WARNING

1 Read these instructions. 2 Keep these instructions. 3 Heed all warnings. 4 Follow all instructions. 5 Do not use this machine near water. 6 Clean only with a damp cloth. 7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. 8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one
wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the machine.
11 Do not attempt to modify or extend the power cord of this machine. 12 Unplug this machine during lightning storms or when it will not be used for long periods of time. 13 Make sure that the available AC power matches the voltage requirements of this machine. 14 Do not handle the plug with wet hands. This could result in an electric shock. 15 Unplug the power cord by holding the plug, never by pulling the cord. 16 Do not turn the machine on or off by plugging or unplugging the power cord. 17 Turn off the machine before unplugging it. 18 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the machine has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the machine, the machine has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
19 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this machine to rain, moisture, dripping, or splashing, and no
objects filled with liquids should be placed on top of it.
20 Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.
Caution: Danger of explosion if batteries are incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.

WARNING

Electric Shock Hazard
Failure to follow these instructions can result in electric shock, fire, or death.
• This unit must be properly grounded.
• Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the grounding plug.
• If you do not have a properly grounded AC outlet, or if there is any doubt that the outlet is not properly grounded, a qualified electrician should check the outlet and circuit and, if necessary, install a properly grounded outlet.
• This air conditioner must be plugged into a grounded 115V, 60 Hz AC outlet, protected by a 15 amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
• This air conditioner must be installed in accordance with national wiring codes.
Do not alter or modify the plug or cord of this air conditioner. If the power cord becomes worn or damaged, the cord should only be replaced by a qualified service technician using genuine replacement parts.
• Do not use an extension cord.

Electrical Safety

Integrated circuit breaker

For additional safety, the power cord on this air conditioner features an integrated circuit breaker. You can test and reset the circuit breaker using the buttons provided on the plug case.
The circuit breaker should be tested periodically by pressing the TEST button then the RESET button. If the TEST button does not cause the circuit breaker to trip, or if the RESET button will not stay engaged, unplug the air conditioner immediately and contact an Insignia technician.

proper ground
exists before use.
Make sure that a
proper ground
exists before use.

Preferred grounding method

Temporary grounding

Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly discourage the use of an adapter plug. If an adapter plug must be used
for a temporary connection, use only a UL-listed adapter with a minimum capacity of 120V~60Hz, 13A, and 1560W. Make sure that the large slot of the adapter is aligned with the large slot in the outlet.
To prevent damage to the adapter’s ground terminal, hold the adapter in place while plugging or unplugging the air conditioner.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal and not insulated and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.
Frequent connection and disconnection can damage the ground terminal on the adapter. Never use a broken or damaged adapter.
