IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The safety instructions below will tell you how to use your room air conditioner to avoid harm to yourself or
damage to your ROOM AIR CONDITIONER.
FOR YOUR
SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Read product
labels for flammability
and
other warnings.
PREVENT
ACCIDENTS
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, or injury
to persons when using your air conditioner,
follow
basic precautions,
including
the following:
• Be sure the electrical
service
is adequate
for the
model you have chosen.
• 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,
you may want to 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 installation
instructions
for
possible
future use in removing
or reinstalling
this
unit.
• Use gloves when handling the air conditioner.
Be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins on
front and rear coils.
ELECTRICAL
INFORMATION
The complete electrical rating of your new room air
conditioner is stated on the serial 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 plugged into 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.
• Do not run air conditioner with a protective
covering. This could result in mechanical damage
within the air conditioner.
• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter
plug.

SAVING
IDEAS
• The capacity
of the room air conditioner
must fit
the room size for efficient
and satisfactory
operation.
• Install the room air conditioner
on the shady side
of your home. A window that faces north is best
because
it is shaded
most of the day.
• Do not block air conditioner
flow inside with blinds,
curtains,
or furniture,
or outside with shrubs,
enclosures,
or other buildings.
• Close the floor and wall registers and the fireplace
damper so cool air does not escape up the
chimney
or into the duct work.
• Keep blinds and drapes
in other windows
closed
during the sunniest
part of the day.
• Clean the air filter as recommended
in the
MAINTENANCE
section of this manual.
• Proper insulation and weather stripping in your
home will help keep warm air out and cool air in.
• External house shading with trees, plants or
awnings will help reduce the air conditioner's work
load.
Operate heat producing appliances such as
ranges, washers, dryers, and dishwashers during
the coolest part of the day.
