If your unit becomes wet, unplug immediately. Always transport your air conditioner in a vertical position and stand on a stable, level surface during use. Turn off the product when not in use. Always contact a qualified person to carry out repairs. If the supply cord is damaged it must be repaired by a qualified technician. Keep an air path of at least 30cm all around the unit from walls, furniture and curtains. If the air conditioner is knocked over during use, turn off the unit and unplug from the power supply immediately.

Energy Saving Tips:

Do not operate your air conditioner in a wet room such as a bathroom or laundry room. Do not touch the unit with wet or damp hands or when barefoot. Do not press the buttons on the control panel with anything other than your fingers. Do not remove any fixed covers. Never use this appliance if it is not working properly, or if it has been dropped or damaged. Never use the plug to start and stop the unit. Always use the switch on the control panel. Do not cover or obstruct the inlet or outlet grilles. Do not use hazardous chemicals to clean or come into contact with the unit. Do not use the unit in the presence of inflammable substances or vapour such as alcohol, insecticides, gasoline,etc. Do not allow children to operate the unit unsupervised.
