Operation of Safety Plug

Your portable air conditioner is supplied with a Leakage-Current Detection and Interruption (LCDI) safety plug. This device provides protection to reduce the risk of fire due to arcing faults in the power supply cord. Before using your portable air conditioner, follow the instructions below to ensure that the LCDI plug is working properly:

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.

2. Press the TEST button on the LCDI plug. This should trip the plug and cut the power to the air

conditioner. If the plug does not trip and you are able to turn on the unit, please contact Koldfront support.

DO NOT USE YOUR PORTABLE AIR CONDITIONER IF THE TEST FAILS.

Press the RESET button to start using your air conditioner.

Do not use the TEST and RESET buttons as an ON/OFF switch.

Note: Electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please contact your local recycling center for more information about how to recycle electronic waste.
