Electrical Information

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.

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. This

information can be found on the serial plate, which is located either on the
side of the cabinet or behind the grille.

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.

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

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.

Do not run air conditioner with outside protective cover in place. This could

result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
