IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• TEMPORARY USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD. We strongly discourage the
use of an extension cord due to potential safety hazards. For temporary
situations, use only CSA and UL certied 3-prong grounded extension
cords designed and approved specically for air conditioners.

of the unit when removing the lter.
• Do not block the air inlet or air outlet. It may cause failure of the
appliance.
• Always store and transport the air conditioner upright to maintain the
compressor in a proper condition. Prior to installation, allow air conditioner
to stand upright for 12 hours.
• Only operate the unit on an even horizontal surface to ensure no water
leaks.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
