SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before the portable air conditioner is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as detailed in this manual.

Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Make sure this unit is connected to a correctly grounded power supply outlet. Do not use an extension cord or power strip.

The power cord is UL listed. It has a built-in L.C.D.I. (leakage, current, detection, interruption) circuit breaker for added safety. If the power supply is interrupted, press the reset button to reconnect the unit to power source.

It is recommended to use a separate circuit that its size should be 15 Amps for the air conditioner.

Do not use an excessively wet cloth, industrial solvents, oil-based products to clean this portable air conditioner.

To avoid the risk of shock, the product should never be used in bathrooms, shower rooms, or in any other steamy or wet areas.

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliances.

Do not repair, disassemble and/or modify the unit by yourself.

Always turn off the portable air conditioner when cleaning the air filter, and transporting.

Do not turn this unit on and off by plugging and unplugging. Always use the ON/OFF switch.

Transport the unit in an upright position only, or leave it in an upright position for at least 2 hours before first use.

Ensure curtains or other objects are not obstructing the air inlet filters.

Do not bend or crush the exhaust hose while in use.

Always allow at least 20” of clearance around the unit for ventilation. Do not use this unit inside closets, cabinets and/or cramped spaces between furniture.

This unit is optimized to operate in an ambient temperature of 64°F – 95°F.

This unit must be installed in an area protected from the element, such as wind, rain, water spray or drips.
