To prevent injury to the user or other people and property damage,
the following instructions must be followed.

° Use this appliance only as described in this Use & Care Guide. As with any

electrical appliance, the instructions aim to cover as many eventualities as
possible. Caution and common sense should be used when operating and
installing this air conditioner.

° This appliance has been manufactured to cool, heat and dehumidify

domestic environments and should not be used for other purposes.

° The appliance should not be installed where the atmosphere may contain

combustible gases, oil or sulphur, or near heat sources.

° Always install the portable air conditioner properly. Incorrect assembly or

installation may cause failure to operate including injury, fire and electric
shock hazards.

° Do not place the power cord near a heater. It may cause fire or electric

shock.

* Do not use the power cord near flammable gas or combustibles such as

gasoline, benzene, thinner, etc. It may cause explosion or fire.

* Do not operate or stop the unit by inserting or pulling out the power plug.

It may cause fire or electric shock.

* Do not damage or use an unspecified power cord. It may cause fire or

electric shock.

° Do not modify the length of the power cord. It will cause fire or electric

shock due to heat generation.

° Use the air conditioner on a single outlet circuit. Do not share the outlet

with other appliances. It may cause circuit failure.

° Changing the outlet without making the appropriate wiring changes will

create an unsafe condition that could result in fire or electric shock. Refer
aii such work to a licensed and qualified electrician.

° WARNING: This appliance must be properly grounded. The power cord

of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong LCDI (Leakage Current

Detection and Interruption) plug. To minimize the risk of electric shock,
use the plug with a standard three-slot grounding wail power outlet. If
power outlet does not include a grounding slot, have a qualified electrician
replace the outlet before you use your room air conditioner. Do not cut
or remove the grounding prong from the power plug. If you have doubt
whether the air conditioner is properly grounded, have the waft receptacle
and circuit checked by a qualified electrician.

° Do not disassemble or modify this appliance. Doing so may cause failure

and electric shock.

° 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 certified 3-prong grounded extension
cords designed and approved specifically for air conditioners.

° To prevent injury from handling sharp objects, do not touch the metal parts

of the unit when removing the filter.

° 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.

leaks.

° Unplug the unit if strange sounds, odors or smoke come from it.
° Hold the plug by the head when unplugging the unit. Do not puii on the

° Unplug the air conditioner if it will not be used for a long period to

prevent accidental startup and the possibility of injury.
