or personal injury.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using this portable air conditioner, always follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
I Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner's
Manual.
I This portable air conditioner must be
properly installed as described in this
manual before it is used.
I Never unplug your portable air
conditioner by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip plug firmly and pull straight
out from the receptacle.
I Repair or replace immediately all electric
service cords that have become frayed
or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either the plug or
connector end.
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.
Use a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.

I Turn the portable air conditioner OFF and
unplug it before cleaning.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any
servicing be performed by a qualified
individual.
I For your safety, do not store or use
combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
I All air conditioners contain refrigerants,
which under federal law must be removed
prior to product disposal. If you are getting
rid of an old product with refrigerants,
check with the company handling disposal
about what to do.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The air conditioner should always be
plugged into its own individual electrical
outlet, which has a voltage rating matching
the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits,
which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
