IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
ELECTRICAL
SPECIFICATIONS
CAUTION: Do not leave this unit
unattended in a space where people or
animals cannot react to a failed unit are
located. A failed unit can cause extreme
overheating or death in such an
enclosed, unattended space.

The power cord supplied with this air conditioner contains a device that
senses damage to the power cord. To test if your power cord is working
properly, you must do the following:
Your Danby appliance is designed to be highly efficient in energy
savings. Follow these recommendations for greater efficiency.
1) Select a thermostat setting that suits your
comfort needs and leave at that chosen
setting.
2) The air filter is very efficient in removing
airborne particles. Keep the air filter clean at
all times.
3) Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep
direct sunlight from penetrating and heating
room, but do not allow drapes or curtains to
obstruct the air flow around the unit.
4) Start your air conditioner before the
outdoor air becomes hot and uncomfortable, to
avoid an initial period of discomfort while the
unit is cooling off the room. Use of the
automatic start/stop programmable TIMER
feature can be a major asset in this regard if
utilized to the fullest extent.
5) When outdoor temperatures are cool
enough, turn the air conditioner off and use the
FAN MODE. This circulates indoor air,
providing some cooling comfort while utilizing
less electricity.
NOTE: The power cord supplied with this air
conditioner contains a current leakage
detection device designed to reduce 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.
• The “RESET” button must always be pushed
in (engaged) for correct operation.
• The power supply cord must be replaced if it
fails to reset when the “TEST” button is
pushed in.
1) Connect the power supply cord to an
electrical outlet.
2) The power supply cord has two buttons
located on the head of the plug. One button is
marked “TEST”, and the other 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).
