PRECAUTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or injury to persons when using your air conditioner, follow basic precaution, including the following:
• Be sure the electrical power source is adequate for the model. This information can be found on the rating label which is located on the back of the unit.
• Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to the installation instructions provided with this manual. Save this manual for possible future use
in removing, storing or reinstalling this unit.
• When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins on front and rear coils.
• Avoid air inlet and outlet grills from being covered or closed off.
• Never insert your fingers or any foreign objects into the air outlet. Take special care to warn children of these dangers.
• Use the unit in rooms of a suitable size and always remember that areas of high heat gain such as conservatories and sun lounges require up to four times the cooling power of
conventional rooms.
• Close the fireplace damper floor and wall registers to avoid cool air escape up the chimney and into the duct work.
• Clean the air filter as recommended in the section "Care and Cleaning".
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated on the nameplate. Refer to the rating when checking the electrical requirements.
• Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire hazard, proper grounding is important.
• LCDI (Leakage Current Detection Interrupters) are built into the power cord cap of our room air conditioners.
• If the power cord is damaged and the power conductors touch the shield, the LCDI will interrupt power if even a small amount of current leaks to the shield. In such case, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, service agent or a similarly qualified electrician to avoid hazard.
• Your air conditioner must be plugged into proper power outlet. If the power outlet you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit
breaker, please contact qualified electrician to install the proper power outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.
• Be sure the maximum amps of all devices on that fuse or circuit breaker can not exceed the amps of the fuse or circuit breaker.
