have a qualified electrician replace the outlet before you use the room air
conditioner.

WARNING: 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.

Electrical Safety
10 Room Air Conditioner
We strongly discourage the use of an adapter due to potential safety hazards.
For temporary connections, use only a UL-listed adapter, available from most
local hardware stores. Ensure that the large slot in the adapter is aligned with
the large slot in the receptacle for a proper polarity connection.
To disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on each to avoid
damaging the ground terminal. Avoid frequently unplugging the power cord as
this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage.
WARNING: Never use the appliance with a broken adapter.
We strongly discourage the use of an extension cord due to potential safety
hazards. For temporary situations, use only CSA certified and UL listed 3-wire
grounded extension cords, rated 15 A, 125 V.

Installation
How to Install the Unit
1.To prevent vibration and noise, make sure the
unit is installed securely and firmly
2. Install the unit where the sunlight does not
shine directly on the unit.
3.The outside of the cabinet must extend outward
for at least 14" and there should be no
obstacles, such as a fence or wall, within 20"
from the back of the cabinet because it will
prevent heat radiation of the condenser.
Restriction of outside air will greatly reduce the
cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.
All side louvers of the cabinet must remain exposed to the outside of the structure.
4. Install the unit at a slight incline so the back is slightly lower than the front(about 1/4").
This will force condensed water to flow to the outside.
5. Install the unit with the bottom about 30"~60" above the floor level.
