, The appearance of the air

conditioner may deteriorate,
change color, or develop

surface flaws.

, It is not sanitary and could

cause illness or personal
injury hazard.

BeforeOperation

1. Plug in the power plug properly.

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. If the 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 [phone]. Have your model number and

serial number available. They should be written on page 2 of this manual.

ElectricalSafety

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.
