IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
ENERGY-
SAVING TIPS
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).
