HOW TO USE

BEFORE USING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER

PREPARING FOR OPERA T/ON

Refer to the Installation Instructions included in this manual before using the air conditioner. Once the air conditioner has been properly assembled and installed:

1. Plug the power cord into its own dedicated, properly grounded outlet. Do not plug Other appliances into the same outlet; this could overload the outlet and create a fire hazard.

2. Make sure the air conditioner and cord are positioned where they do not create a tripping hazard and will receive adequate ventilation. Do not place the air conditioner directly next to furniture or objects that could block the vent openings.

3. Make sure that any items that could be blown over or damaged by the airflow from the fan are out of the airflow path.

IMPORTANT:

• Do not remain in the direct airflow from the air conditioner for extended periods of time.

• When used at the same time as stoves, fireplaces, and other combustion devices, make sure there is a sufficient flow of fresh air into the room. Do not use in tightly enclosed spaces with these types of devices.

• This air conditioner is intended for household use as a consumer comfort appliance. Do not use it as a precision climate control system, or for purposes such as cooling precision equipment, food, pets, plants, artwork, etc. Such items could be damaged.

• Do not bend the hose downward when window installation kit is not applied. Doing so may cause inferior performance or failure of the air conditioner.

UNPACKING THE AIR CONDITIONER

Remove and store packing materials for reuse. Remove any shipping tape before using the air conditioner.
