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.

directly on the unit.

3) The outside of the cabinet must extend outward for at least 12" 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.

CAUTION: All side louvers of the cabinet must remain exposed to the outside of the

_ structure.

^ Install the unit a little slanted so the back is slightly lower than the front (about 1/2").

This will force condensed water to flow to the outside.

5) Install the unit with the bottom about 30"~60" above the floor level.

Window Requirements

: All supporting parts should be secured to firm wood, masonry, or metal.

• This unit is designed for Installation In standard double hung windows with actual opening widths from 27" to 39".
