supply. (see table previous page)

malfunctions or is damaged in any manner. Contact an authorized service technician for
examination, repairs or adjustments.
4) DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER OR AN EXTENSION CORD.
5) Do not block airflow around the air conditioner. The exhaust hose should be free of any
obstructions.
6) Always unplug the air conditioner before servicing it or moving it.
7) Do not install or use the air conditioner in any area where the atmosphere contains
combustible gases or where the atmosphere is oily or sulphurous. Avoid any chemicals coming
in contact with your air conditioner.
