SAFETY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The safety instructions below wilt tell you how to use your room air conditioner to avoid harm to yourself or damage to your ROOM AIR CONDITIONER.

Awarning

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Read product labels for flammability and other warnings.

Awarning

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air conditioner, follow

basic precautions, including the following:

• Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the

model you have chosen.

• If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to clean both sides of the glass first. If the window is a triple-track type with a screen panel included, you may want to remove the screen completely before installation.

• Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to the separate installation instructions provided with this manual. Save this manual and installation instructions for possible future use in removing or reinstalling this unit. .

• When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins on front and rear coils.

Awarning

The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated on the serial plate. Refer to the

rating when checking the electrical requirements.

• Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.

• Your air conditioner must be plugged into a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper receptacle.

• Do not run air conditioner with outside protective cover in place. This could result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.

• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter

ENERGY SAVING IDEAS

• The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and satisfactory operation.

• Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.

• Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains, or furniture, or outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.

• Close the floor and wall registers and the fireplace damper so cool air does not escape up the chimney and into the duct work.

• Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the day.

• Clean the air filter as recommended in the

MAINTENANCE section of this manual.

• Proper insulation and weather stripping in your

home will help keep warm air out and cool air in.

• External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air conditioner's work

load.

• Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers, and dishwashers during

the coolest part of the day.
