∙Always install the portable air conditioner properly. Incorrect assembly or installation may cause failure to operate including injury, fire and electric shock hazards.

∙Do not place the power cord near a heater. It may cause fire or electric shock.

∙Do not use the power cord near flammable gas or combustibles such as gasoline, benzene, thinner, etc. It may cause explosion or fire.

∙Do not damage or use an unspecified power cord. It may cause electric shock or fire.

∙Do not modify the length of the power cord. It will cause electric shock or fire due to heat generation.

∙Use the air conditioner on a single outlet circuit. Do not share the outlet with other appliances. It may cause circuit failure.

∙Changing the outlet without making the appropriate wiring changes will create an unsafe condition that could result in fire or electrical shock. Refer all such work to a licensed and qualified electrician.

∙WARNING: This appliance must be properly grounded. The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong LCDI plug. To minimize the risk of electric shock, use the plug with a standard three-slot grounding wall power outlet. If the power outlet does not include a grounding slot, have a qualified electrician replace the outlet before you use the room air conditioner. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the power plug. If you have doubt whether the air conditioner is properly grounded, have the wall receptacle and circuit checked by a qualified electrician.

∙Do not disassemble or modify this appliance. Doing so may cause failure and electric shock.

∙TEMPORARY USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD. We strongly discourage the use of an extension cord due to potential safety hazards. For temporary situations, use only CSA and UL certified 3-prong grounded extension cords designed and approved specifically for air conditioners.

∙To prevent injury from handling sharp objects, do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter

∙Do not block the air inlet or air outlet. It may cause failure of the appliance.

∙Always store and transport the air conditioner upright to maintain the compressor in a proper condition. Prior to installation, allow air conditioner to stand upright for 12 hours.

∙Only operate the unit on a horizontal surface to ensure no water leaks.

∙The appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
