SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Following these basic precautions will reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injury or death when using your air conditioner.
1) Air conditioner must be connected to proper electrical outlet with the correct electrical
supply. (see table previous page)
2) Proper grounding must be ensured to reduce the risk of shock and fire. DO NOT CUT OR
REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG. If you do not have a three-prong electric receptacle out-
let in the wall, have a certified electrician install the proper receptacle. The wall receptacle
MUST be properly grounded.
3) Do not operate air conditioner if power cord is frayed or otherwise damaged. Also avoid using
it if there are cracks or abrasion damage along the length, plug connector or if the unit mal-
functions or is damaged in any manner. Contact an authorized service for examination, repairs
or adjustments.
4) DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER OR AN EXTENSION CORD.
5) Do not block airflow around the air conditioner. Also the exhaust hose should be free of any
obstructions.
6) Always unplug the air conditioner before servicing it or moving it.

combustible gases or where the atmosphere is oily or sulphurous. Avoid any chemicals coming
in contact with your air conditioner.

• Always unplug your air conditioner before cleaning.
• Air filter needs to be cleaned at least once a week for your unit to operate at opti-
mum efficiency. Slide out the filter from the back by pulling on the tab. The filter may
be washed or vacuumed. Remove the excess water from the filter by gently shaking
the filter. This will remove dust and particles trapped in the filter. After cleaning, rein-
stall the filter. DO NOT use your air conditioner without the air filter in place.
• To clean the cabinet, DO NOT use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine,
bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or metal scouring pads. Some of these
chemicals may dissolve, damage and/or discolor your air conditioner.
• Always use a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild soap and water solution to
wipe the front of the cabinet. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
• To store your air conditioner when not being used for a long period of time, drain
condensed water using the drain pipe. Remove exhaust hose, clean the filters, cover
