information.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
·Do not use the unit if the power cord is frayed, cracked
or otherwise damaged. A damaged power cord must be
replaced with a new power cord obtained from the
manufacturer and not repaired. Contact ClimateRight for
repair and replacement details.
·Never unplug the unit by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the
receptacle.

the unit into an outdoor outlet, the outlet must be a GFCI
outlet and have a weatherproof while-in-use receptacle
cover.
·The unit should be plugged into its own circuit. If other
devices are plugged into the same circuit, the fuse or
breaker may trip due to excessive amperage draw.
·Internal parts of the unit may get hot such as the
condenser, compressor and copper piping. Do not
remove the outer cover and touch these parts.
·There are moving parts inside the unit. Do not put any
body part inside of the unit.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Use of an extension cord is not recommended. Using an
extension cord could prevent the unit from operating
normally and could potentially pose a fire and safety risk. It is
recommended that unit is located near a 3-prong 120V GFCI
outlet. If one is not near, one should be installed by a
qualified electrician.

MAINTENANCE:
The ClimateRight® climate control unit is a low maintenance
product and does not require much attention if used in
normal environments. However, two components will require
periodic cleaning to ensure maximum heating and cooling
efficiency.
Failure to property care for the ClimateRight® unit as
mentioned above will result in a voided Warranty.
FILTERS
The removable mesh filter installed at the air inlet will
accumulate debris over time. Remove and clean the filter
monthly. If the unit is located in an area with lots of dirt,
debris and pet fur, check and clean the filter weekly.
CONDENSER
The condenser is located on the side of the unit with the
open grid. If the cooling capacity of the unit becomes
degraded, the condenser fins may be dirty. Debris on the fins
will not allow the refrigerant to cool properly.
Use a garden hose with a spray nozzle set on a gentle setting
to rinse away dirt and debris.
EVAPORATOR
If the unit is installed in a location with lots of dirt, debris and
pet fur, the air filter may not screen all contaminants from
the air. If the evaporator becomes heavily soiled with debris,
it may be necessary to clean the evaporator.
To clean the evaporator, carefully remove the sheet metal
surrounding the top and sides of the unit. Use a soft bristle
brush, such as a paint brush to gently brush away the debris
from the evaporator fins. DO NOT use a metal wire brush as
this will damage the fins and could puncture the refrigerant
tubes.
