Electrical Shock Hazard _IL
•Plug unit only into a grounded electrical outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord or plug adapter with this unit.
• Do not operate unit with decorative front or filter removed.
• Failure to follow these precautions could result in electrical shock, fire or personal
injury.
• If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 115 volts and greater than 7.5 amps,
it must have its own fuse or circuit breaker, and no other device or unit should be
operated on that fuse or circuit breaker. If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating
of 230 volts, it must have its own fuse or circuit breaker, and no other device or unit
should be operated on that fuse or circuit breaker.
• We recommend that a qualified electrician install unit in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
• Do not operate this air conditioner without proper time delay circuit protection (circuit
breaker or fuse). Refer to serial plate for proper power supply requirements.
• Use copper conductors of correct wire gauge and protector size only.
• Do not alter cord or plug end. Do not remove warning label on cord.
Important Grounding Requirements
• Air conditioner has a three-prong grounding plug on the power supply cord, which
must be plugged into a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle for your
protection against possible shock hazard. For models up to and including 7.5 amperes,
use a grounding type wall receptacle to match the cord plug. (Fig. 1 &2)
• For models above 7.5 amperes use a single outlet grounding type wall receptacle to
match the cord plug.(Fig.2)
Additional Safety Precautions
• Do not cut, alter or remove any of the expanded polystyrene (styrofoam) inside this air
conditioner.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this
or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.
• Do not introduce objects in the air discharge area. This could cause permanent damage.
• Do not pour liquids on the air conditioner as this could cause a malfunction. With the
unit unplugged, use a damp cloth for cleaning the unit.
• Do not use strong solvents to clean the air conditioner.
• Clean the air conditioner filter every two weeks to avoid overheating caused by air
obstruction. Do not operate without filter.
• Do not obstruct the air intake area of your air conditioner, as this could cause
overheating, thus activating the unit's security switch and shutting off the unit.
• Do not block air circulation to outside louvers of cabinet.
• Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains, or furniture, or outside with shrubs,
enclosures, or other buildings.
• Do not run the air conditioner with an outside protective cover in place. This could
result in fire or mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
• Depending on the model, your air conditioner may weigh as much as 95 pounds. To
insure safe handling, obtain the necessary help to lift and position the unit during
installation and removal.
• Handle air conditioner with care. Wear protective gloves whenever lifting or carrying
the unit.
• Carefully inspect the location where the air conditioner will be installed. Be sure it will
support the weight of the unit over an extended period of time.

Riesgo de Choque Electrico
•Enchufe el aparato solamente en un tomacorriente elOctrico puesto a tierra.
• Con este aparato no use un cordon de extension ni un adaptador de enchufe.
• No haga funcionar el acondicionador de aire sin el panel delantero.
•Elincumplimiento de estasprecauciones pueden causar un choque el_ctrico, incen-
dio o lesi6n personal.
• Si el acondicionador de aire tiene una potencia nominal indicada en la placa de serie
de 115 voltios y de mas de 7,5 amperes, es necesario que sea protegido con su pro-
pio fusible o disyuntor y ning0n otro dispositivo debe usar ese mismo disyuntor o
fusible. Si el acondicionador de aire tiene una potencia nominal en la placa de serie
de 230 voltios, es necesario que sea protegido con su propio fusible o disyuntor y
ning0n otro aparato debe usar ese mismo disyuntor o fusible.
• Recomendamos que un electricista calificado instale el acondicionador de aire de
acuerdo con el cOdigo elOctrico nacional y los cOdigos y reglamentos locales.
• No haga funcionar este acondicionador de aire sin protecciOn adecuada del circuito
de retardo. Consulte la placa de serie para los requerimientos apropiados de ali-
mentaciOn elOctrica.
• Use solamente conductores de cobre y fusibles de calibre y capacidad adecuada.
• No modifique el cordon ni el enchufe del extremo. No retire la etiqueta de adverten-
cia del cordon de alimentaciOn.
Requerimientos Importantes para la Puesta a Tierra
• El cordon de alimentaci0n del acondicionador de aire tiene un enchufe de tres clavi-
jas con puesta a tierra el cual debe ser enchufado en un tomacorriente mural puesto
a tierra de tres alvOolos para su protecciOn contra posible riesgo de choque elOctrico.
Para los modelos de hasta 7,5 amperes o menos, use un tomacorriente mural del tipo
con puesta a tierra que tenga la misma configuraciOn que el enchufe del cordon de
alimentaciOn.
• Para los modelos de mas de 7,5 amperes, use un tomacorriente mural sencillo con
puesta a tierra que tenga la misma configuraciOn que el enchufe del cordon de ali-
mentaciOn.
Precauciones de Seguridad Adicionales
• No corte, modifique ni retire ning0n pedazo de poliestireno expandido (espuma blan-
ca) situado dentro de este acondicionador de aire.
No guarde ni use gasolina u otros vapores y Ii'quidos inflamables en la vecindad de
este o cualquier otro artefacto. Losvapores emitidos pueden crear un riesgo de incen-
dio o explosion.

irreparable a su acondicionador de aire.
No vierta ffquidos de limpieza en el acondicionador de aire pues esto puede causar
un malfuncionamiento. Use un patio h0medo para limpiarlo.
Evite usar solventes fuertes para limpiar el acondicionador de aire.
Limpie el filtro del acondicionador de aire cada dos semanas para evitar sobrecalen-
tamiento causado por obstrucciOn del aire.
No obstruya el area de entrada del aire de su acondicionador, pues esto puede causar
sobrecalentamiento, Io cual activara el interruptor de seguridad y apagara el aparato.
No bloquee la circulaciOn del aire hacia las rejillas de ventilaciOn exteriores del gabi-
nete.
No obstruya el flujo del aire hacia el interior con persianas, cortinas o muebles o
hacia el exterior con arbustos, recintos u otros edificios.
