IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE
Power supply cord
with 3-prong grounding plug
and current detection device
The power supply cord with
this air conditioner contains a current
detection device designed to reduce
the risk of fire.
Please refer to the section "Operation
of Current Device" (below) for details.
In the event that the power supply cord
is damaged, it MUST be replaced by
an authorized repairman.
DO NOT, under any
circumstances, cut,
remove, or bypass
grounding prong.
WARNING!
DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in
the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. DO NOT use an extension cord or
an adaptor plug. DO NOT remove any prong from the power cord.
WARNING!
Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen.
This information can be found on the serial plate, which is located on the
side of the cabinet and behind the grille.
Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire
hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.
Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If
the wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or
protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician
install the proper receptacle.
Ensure the receptacle is accessible after the unit installation.
Do not run air conditioner without side protective cover in place. This could
result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.
