READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
• To avoid possible cuts, avoid contacting the
metal parts of the air conditioner when removing
or reinstalling the filter. It can result in the risk of
personal injury.
• Do not block the air inlet or outlet of the air
conditioner. Reduced air flow will result in poor
performance and could damage the unit.
• Always grasp the plug when plugging in or
unplugging the air conditioner. Never unplug by
pulling on the cord. It can result in result in the
risk of electrical shock and damage.
• Always turn off and unplug the air conditioner
when it will not be used for extended period of
time. This conserves energy and reduces the
chance of accidents.
• Secure the wheels with blocks to prevent the air
conditioner from rolling on smooth floors.
• Install the air conditioner on a sturdy, level floor
capable of supporting up to 110 lbs (50 kg).
Installation on a weak or unlevel floor can result
in result in the risk of property damage and
personal injury.
• Make sure the air conditioner is the correct size
for the area you wish to cool. Using an air
conditioner that is the wrong size can waste
energy and damage the air conditioner.
• Close all doors and windows to the room for
most efficient operation.
• To prevent damage to the surface finish, use only
a soft cloth to clean the air conditioner. Do not
use wax, thinner, or a strong detergent.
• To prevent spills and property damage, be sure
to drain the air conditioner properly.
• To prevent the coils from freezing, do not
operate the air conditioner if the room
temperature is below 65°F (18°C).
• Do not position the air conditioner so that
pets or house plants are exposed to the
direct air flow. It can result in the risk of injury
to pets or house plants.
• This air conditioner is designed for normal
household use. Do not use for cooling pets,
foods, precision machinery, or art objects.
• Do not drink the water from the drain pan.
Dispose of it properly outdoors or down
the drain.
• Do not operate air conditioner without the filter

teeth and see doctor. Do not use the remote if
the batteries have leaked. The chemicals in
batteries could cause burns or other health
hazard.
• If the liquid from the batteries gets onto your skin
or clothes, wash it well with clean water. Do not
use the remote if the batteries have leaked. The
chemicals in batteries could cause burns or other
health hazard.

H O W TO U S E
Refer to the Installation Instructions included in
this manual before using the air conditioner.
Once the air conditioner has been properly
assembled and installed:
Plug the power cord into its own dedicated
properly grounded outlet. You will hear a
tone to confirm that the conditioner is
plugged in. Do not plug other appliances
into the same outlet; it could overload the
outlet and create a fire hazard.
Make sure the air conditioner and cord is
positioned where it does not create a
tripping hazard and will receive adequate
ventilation. Do not place it directly next to
furniture or objects that could block the
vent openings.
Make sure that any items that could be
blown over or damaged by the airflow from
the fan are out of the airflow path.

• Do not remain in the direct airflow from the air
conditioner for extended periods of time.
• To prevent damage or injury to pets and
plants, make sure they are not exposed to
direct airflow from the air conditioner.
• 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.
