is marked “RESET”. Press the “TEST” button; you will hear a click as the “RESET” button pops out.
3. Press the “RESET” button; you will hear a click as the button engages.
4. The power supply cord is now energized and supplying electricity to the air conditioner (on some products this is also
indicated by a light on the plug head).

the risk of fire. In the event the power supply cord is damaged, it cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a new
cord from the product manufacturer.
• Under no circumstances should this device be used to turn the unit on or off.
