part.
1. Being exposed to direct airflow for an extended period of time could be
hazardous to your health. Do not expose occupants, pets, or plants to direct
airflow for extended periods of time.
2. Due to the possibility of oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room when used
together with stoves or other heating devices.
3. Do not use this air conditioner for non-specified special purposes (e.g.
preserving precision devices, food, pets, plants, and art objects). Such usage
could damage the items.
1. Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can
occur when handling sharp metal edges.
2. Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner. Exposure to water can
destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
IMPORTANT GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Air conditioner has a three-prong grounding plug on
its power supply cord, which must be plugged into
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle for
your protection against possible shock hazard.
230/208 VOLT UNITS
These units are equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug on the power supply cord, which
must be plugged into a matching properly grounded
three-prong wall receptacle for your protection
against possible shock hazard. If such an outlet is
not present, one must be installed by a qualified
electrician in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD on 230/208

IMPORTANT
(PLEASE READ CAREFULLY)
FOR THE USER'S PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED
A. SITUATIONS WHEN THE APPLIANCE WILL BE DISCONNECTED OCCASIONALLY:
Because of potential safety hazards, we strongly discourage the use of an adapter plug. However, if you wish to
use an adapter, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made. Use UL-listed adapter, available from most local
hardware stores.
The large slot in the adapter must be aligned with the large slot in the receptacle to assure a proper polarity
connection.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless
the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. The
customer should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly
grounded.
Disconnect the power cord from the adapter, using one hand on each. Otherwise, the adapter ground terminal
might break. DO NOT USE the appliance with a broken adapter plug.
B. SITUATIONS WHEN THE APPLIANCE WILL BE DISCONNECTED OFTEN.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations. Unplugging the power cord frequently can lead to an eventual
breakage of the ground terminal. The wall power outlet should be replaced by a three-slot (grounding) outlet
instead.
