PRECAUTIONS
Points to keep in mind when using your air conditioner.
WARNINGS FOR USE
• Install the air conditioner in accordance with the installation instructions in the latter section of this
manual.
• Do not modify any part of this product.
• Do not insert anything into any part of the unit.
• Ensure the power supply used has an appropriate voltage rating.
Only use a three-pin grounded electrical AC socket rated 125V, 60Hz, and 15 amps
or more as shown on the right.
Use of a power supply with an improper voltage rating can result in damage to the
unit and possibly fire.
• Always use a fuse with the proper amp rating.
Do not, under any circumstances, use wire, pins or other objects in place of a proper fuse.
• In the event of any abnormality with the air conditioner (ex. a burning smell), turn it off immediately
and disconnect the power supply.
WARNING FOR POWER SUPPLY CORD
• This air conditioner uses a plug with a built-in fuse.
Read the precautions on the plug before using the air conditioner.
• Always conduct a “Power Plug Check” before use to confirm the power plug functions normally.
• This power plug must only be plugged into an appropriate wall socket. Do not use in conjunction
with any extension cords.
• Push the power plug securely into the socket and make sure it is not loose.
• Do not pull, deform, or modify the power supply cord, or immerse it in water.
Pulling or misuse of the power supply cord can result in damage to the unit and cause electrical shock.
• A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the
product manufacturer and not repaired. Replacement must be performed by manufacture's service
agent in order to avoid a hazard.
NOTE
Radio or TV Interference
If this room air conditioner should cause interference to radio or television reception, try to correct the interfer-
ence by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the room air conditioner and radio/TV receiver.

connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING ABOUT GROUNDING
• Improper use of the grounding plug can result
in the risk of electric shock.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of an electric shock by providing a less resist-
ant conduit for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord that has a
grounding wire connected to a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into a socket that is properly
installed and grounded.
• Do not under any circumstances cut or remove
the round grounding pin from this plug.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood, or if in any doubt as to whether the appli-
ance is properly grounded.
If a grounding adapter is used, make sure the elec-
trical box is fully grounded.
