2. Use a dedicated circuit. Overloading the line could create a fire hazard.

3. Do not use an extension cord. See page 11 for more details.

4. Do not start/stop operation by plugging/unplugging the power cord.

5. Ifthe power cord is damaged and requires replacement, have an Authorized Servicer install an exact replacement part.

1. Being exposed to direct airflow for an extended period of time could be hazardous to your health. Do not expose occupants, pets, or plants to direct

airflow for extended periods of time.

2. Due to the possibility of oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room when used together with stoves or other heating devices.

3. Do not use this air conditioner for non-specified special purposes (e.g. preserving precision devices, food, pets, plants, and art objects). Such usage

could damage the items.

4.The air conditioner is a consumer comfort appliance, not a precision climate

control system.

1. Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can occur when handling sharp metal edges.

2. Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner. Exposure to water can destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock.

3. When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the power and breaker are turned off. The fan rotates at a very high speed during operation. There is a

possibility of injury if the unit's power is accidentally triggered on while cleaning inner parts of the unit.

For repair and maintenance, contact an Authorized Service Center. See the warranty page for details or call (800) 243-0000. Have your model number and

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.
