5. Do not start/stop operation by plugging/unplugging the power cord.
6. If the cord/plug is damaged, only replace it with an authorized replacement
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.

(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.
CAUTION
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 groundedthrough 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.
