Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appli- ance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and

others.

All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER” or “WARNING”. These words mean:

DANGER

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t immediately follow instructions.

WARNING

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

Please:

•Install your air conditioner in a window that will hold the weight, and secure the air conditioner according to the Installation Instructions.

•Connect the air conditioner to the proper kind of outlet with the correct electrical supply and ground. (See the Electrical Requirements,

pp. 3-6.)

•Make sure the air conditioner is the correct size for the area you want to cool.

•Use the air conditioner only to do what a window air conditioner is designed to do.

•Make sure the air conditioner is not used by anyone unable to operate it properly.

•Maintain the air conditioner properly.

Also, remove the Energy Label. Use a damp cloth to take off any glue residue. DO NOT use sharp instruments, flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners. These can damage the air conditioner finish.
