PRECAUTIONS
Points to keep in mind when using your air conditioner.
WARNINGS FOR USE
• Install the air conditioner in accordance with the installation instructions in the latter section of this manual.
• Do not modify any part of this product.
• Do not insert anything into any part of the unit.
• Ensure the power supply used has an appropriate voltage
rating.
Only use a three-pin grounded electrical AC socket rated
125V, 60Hz, and 15 amps or more as shown on the right.
Use of a power supply with an improper voltage rating can re-
sult in damage to the unit and possibly fi re.
• Always use a fuse with the proper amp rating.
Do not, under any circumstances, use wire, pins or other ob-
jects in place of a proper fuse.
• In the event of any abnormality with the air conditioner (ex.
a burning smell), turn it off immediately and disconnect
the power supply.
WARNING FOR POWER SUPPLY CORD
• This air conditioner uses a plug with a built-in fuse.
Read the precautions on the plug before using the air conditioner.
• Always conduct a “Power Plug Check” (See Page 16) before use to confi rm the
power plug functions normally.
• This power plug must only be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. Do not use
in conjunction with any extension cords.
• Push the power plug securely into the socket and make sure it is not loose.
• Do not pull, deform, or modify the power supply cord, or immerse it in water.
Pulling or misuse of the power supply cord can result in damage to the unit and cause
electrical shock.
• A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord
obtained from the product manufacturer and not repaired. Replacement must be
performed by manufacturer's service agent in order to avoid a hazard.
NOTE
• Any unauthorized changes or modifi cations to this equipment not expressly approved by
the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
E-4
WARNING ABOUT GROUNDING
• Improper use of the grounding plug can result in the risk of electric shock.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces the risk of an electric shock by providing a less resistant conduit for the electric
current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord that has a grounding wire connected to a ground-
ing plug. The plug must be plugged into a socket that is properly installed and grounded.

Consult a qualifi ed electrician or serviceman

whether the appliance is properly grounded.

USAGE CAUTIONS
• Ventilate the room periodically during use, especially if using gas appliances.
• Be sure to turn the unit off and disconnect the power supply cord before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
• Do not splash or pour water directly onto the unit.
Water can cause electrical shock or equipment damage.
• Drainage should be performed whenever moving the air conditioner. (See Page 26)
If any water remains in the tank, it may spill out while being moved.
• Remove the window panel in the event of particularly adverse weather.
Extremely adverse weather may cause water to leak in through the openings.
• To ensure proper drainage, the drainage hose must have no kinks or be on a different level during dehumidifi cation mode.
The drained water may spill out into the room.
• The temperature around the drainage hose must not be below freezing point when
used.
Drained water may freeze inside the hose, causing water inside the unit to overfl ow into
the room.
• Do not block the exhaust air outlet with obstacles.
Cooling performance may be reduced or stop completely.
E-5
PRECAUTIONS
NOTES ON OPERATION
• Allow 3 minutes for the compressor to restart cooling.
If you turn the air conditioner off and immediately restart it, allow three minutes for the compressor
to restart cooling. There is an electronic device in the unit that keeps the compressor turned off for
three minutes for safety.
• In the event of a power failure during use, allow 3 minutes before restarting the
unit.
After power is reinstated, restart the air conditioner. If the power was off for less than three minutes, be sure to wait at least three minutes before restarting the unit. If you restart the air conditioner within three minutes, a protective device in the unit may cause the compressor to shut off.
This protective device will prevent cooling for about 5 minutes. Any previous settings will be canceled and the unit will return to its initial settings.
• Low temperature operation: Is your unit freezing up?
Freezing may occur when the unit is set close to 64°F in low ambient temperature conditions, especially at night.
In these conditions, a further temperature drop may cause the unit to freeze.
Setting the unit to a higher temperature will prevent it from freezing.
• Dehumidifi cation mode increases room temperature.
The unit generates heat during dehumidifi cation mode and the room temperature will rise. Warm
air will be blown out from the Exhaust air outlet, but this is normal and does not indicate a problem
with the unit.
• This air conditioner blows the warm air generated by the unit outside the room via
the exhaust hose while in cool mode.
Accordingly, the same amount of air as that blown out will enter the room from outside through
any openings into the room.
• When cooling operation is performed at high humidity conditions, water tank inside the unit may frequently become full.
When water tank inside the unit is full, the unit stops operating and TIMER, OPERATION and
MEGA COOL lamps will blink. In this case, perform drainage to drain out water within the unit. (See
page 26)
OPERATING CONDITIONS
• The air conditioner must be operated within the temperature range indicated below.
MODE ROOM TEMPERATURE
COOL 64°F~95°F
Dehumidifi cation
59°F~95°F
• A built-in safety device may cut off
operation if the temperature exceeds
these limits.
• When cooling operation is performed at
high room temperature, the fan may run
at a slower speed.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY TIPS
• Avoid direct sunlight.
Close blinds, drapes or shades to keep out direct sunlight while in cooling mode.
• Keep the fi lter clean.
Keeping the fi lter clean greatly aids effi cient operation.
A dirty fi lter blocks the fl ow of air, making your air conditioner work harder and less effi ciently.
See page 27 on how to clean the fi lter.
• Turn off unnecessary lights.
Your air conditioner must remove the heat produced by your lights or other heat-producing appli-
ances. Turn off any lights or appliances that are not in use.
• Turn off the air conditioner when no one is home.
Use only when necessary. The less time the air conditioner is used, the lower the running
E-6
costs.
LOCATION
• The air conditioner should be placed on a fi rm founda-
tion to minimize noise and vibration. For safe and secure positioning, place the unit on a smooth, level fl oor
strong enough to support the unit.
• The unit has casters to aid placement, but it should
only be rolled on smooth, fl at surfaces. Use caution
when rolling on carpet surfaces. Do not attempt to roll
the unit over objects.
• The unit must be placed within reach of a properly
rated grounded socket.
• Never place any obstacles around the air inlet or outlet
of the unit.
• Allow at least 12" (30cm) of space from the wall for effi cient air-conditioning.
