Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen. This
information can be found on the nameplate, which is located on the side of the
cabinet.
If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to
clean both sides of the glass first. If the window is a triple-track type with a
screen panel included,remove the screen completely before installation.
Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according
to the separate installation instructions provided with this manual. Save this
manual and the installation instructions for possible future use in removing or
reinstalling this unit.
When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal
fins on front and rear coils.

plate. Refer to the rating when checking the electrical requirements.
Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire
hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.
Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the
wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a
time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper
receptacle.
