Electrical Safety
To avoid the risks that are always present when using an electric appliance, we recommend that you follow the instructions below.

•We recommend that you wait for 4 hours before connecting the appliance to a power source to allow the refrigerant to flow back into the compressor.
•The appliance must be installed with single phase alternating current of 110- 120/60Hz. If the voltage fluctuates, it could exceed maximum voltage limit. An automatic voltage regulator of more than 350W should be installed for safety.

-This appliance is fitted with a fused plug in accordance with local standards. The fused plug should be suitable for use in all houses fitted with sockets in accordance with current specifications.
-If the fitted plug is not suitable for your outlets, contact a qualified electrician.
•Do not use extension cords when connecting your appliance. Always plug your appliance into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating matching the rating plate on the unit. Using an outlet with other electrics plugged in could cause overloading of wiring circuits and a potential fire.
•Make sure that the plug is not squashed or damaged. Otherwise, it may cause a short circuit, electric shock or fire.
