For Your Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance. Read product
labels for flammability and other warnings.
Prevent Accidents
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, or
injury to persons when using your air
conditioner, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
• Be sure the electrical service is adequate
for the model you have chosen. This
information can be found on the serial
plate, which is located on the side of the
cabinet and behind the grille.
•If the air conditioner is to be installed in a
window, you will probably want to clean
both sides of the glass first. If the window
is a triple-track type with a screen panel
included, remove the screen completely
before installation.
•Be sure the air conditioner has been
securely and correctly installed according
to the separate installation instructions
provided with this manual. Save this
manual and the installation instructions for
possible future use in removing or
reinstalling this unit.
•When handling the air conditioner, be
careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins
on front and rear coils.
WARNING
Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not
use an extension cord or an adaptor plug.
Do not remove any prong from the power
cord.
Electrical Information
WARNING
The complete electrical rating of your new
room air conditioner is stated on the serial
plate. Refer to the rating when checking the
electrical requirements.
• Be sure the air conditioner is properly
grounded. To minimize shock and fire
hazards, proper grounding is important.
The power cord is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for protection
against shock hazards.
• Your air conditioner must be used in a
properly grounded wall receptacle. If the
wall receptacle you intend to use is not
adequately grounded or protected by a
time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a
qualified electrician install the proper
receptacle.
• Do not run air conditioner without outside
protective cover in place. This could result
in mechanical damage within the air
conditioner.
• Do not use an extension cord or an adapter
plug.
Grounding type wall receptacle
Do not, under any
circumstances, cut,
remove, or bypass the
grounding prong.

4IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE
The power supply cord with this air
conditioner contains a current detection
device designed to reduce the risk of fire.
Please refer to the section ‘Operation of
Current Device’ for details.
In the event that the power supply cord is
damaged, it cannot be repaired. It must be
replaced with a cord from the product
manufacturer.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DANGER! Avoid Serious Injury or Death
• This air conditioner contains no
user-serviceable parts. Always call an
authorized Electrolux servicer for repairs.
• Do not insert or place fingers or objects
into the air discharge area in the front of
the unit.
• Do not start or stop the air conditioner by
unplugging the power cord or turning o
the power at the electrical box.
• Do not cut or damage the power cord.
• If the power cord is damaged, it should
only be replaced by an authorized
Electrolux servicer.
• In the event of a malfunction (sparks,
burning smell, etc.), immediately stop the
operation, disconnect the power cord, and
call an authorized Electrolux servicer.
• Do not operate the air conditioner with wet
hands.
• Do not pull on the power cord.
• Do not drink any water that is drained from
the air conditioner.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION! Avoid Injury or damage to the
unit or other property
• Provide ventilation per installation
instructions.
• Do not direct airflow at fireplaces or other
heat related sources as this could cause
flare ups or make units run excessively.
• Do not climb on or place objects on
outdoor part of the unit.
• Do not hang objects off the unit.
• Do not place containers with liquids on the
unit.
• Turn off the air conditioner at the power
source when it will not be used for an
extended period of time.
• Periodically check the condition of the
unit’s installation accessories for any
damage.
• Do not apply heavy pressure to the
radiator fins of the unit.
• Operate the unit without air filter in place.
• Do not block or cover the intake grille,
discharge area and outlet ports.
• Ensure that any electrical/electronic
equipment is one yard away from the unit.
• Do not use or store flammable gases near
the unit.
• Do not touch the metal parts of the unit
when removing the filter. Injuries can occur
when handling sharp metal edges.
• Do not use water to clean inside the air
conditioner. Exposure to water can
destroy the insulation, leading to possible
electric shock.
• When cleaning the unit, first make sure
that the power and circuit breaker are
turned o.
WARNING
FOR FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANT
• Do not use means to accelerate the
defrosting process or to clean, other than
those recommended by the manufacturer.
• Do not pierce or burn.
• Be aware that the refrigerants may not
contain an odour.
• Compliance with national gas regulations
shall be observed.
• Keep ventilation openings clear of
obstruction.

5IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• The appliance shall be stored in a room
without continuously operating ignition
sources (for example: open flames, an
operating gas appliance) and ignition
sources or (for example: an operating
electric heater) close to the appliance.
• The appliance shall be stored so as to
prevent mechanical damage from
occurring.
• A warning that the appliance shall be
stored in a well-ventilated area where the
room size corresponds to the room area as
specified for operation.
• Any person who is involved with working
on or breaking into a refrigerant circuit
should hold a current valid certificate from
an industry-accredited assessment
authority, which authorizes their
competence to handle refrigerants safely
in accordance with an industry recognized
assessment specification.
• Servicing shall only be performed as
recommended by the equipment
manufacturer. Maintenance and repair
requiring the assistance of other skilled
personnel shall be carried out under the
supervision of the person competent in the
use of flammable refrigerants.
• DO NOT modify the length of the power
cord or use an extension cord to power the
unit.
• DO NOT share a single outlet with other
electrical appliances. Improper power
supply can cause fire or electrical shock.
• Please follow the instruction carefully to
handle, install, clear, service the air
conditioner to avoid any damage or
hazard. Flammable Refrigerant R32 is used
within air conditioner. When maintaining or
disposing the air conditioner, the
refrigerant (R32 or R290) shall be
recovered properly, shall not discharge to
air directly.
• No any open fire or device like switch
which may generate spark/arcing shall be
around air conditioner to avoid causing
ignition of the flammable refrigerant used.
Please follow the instruction carefully to
store or maintain the air conditioner to
prevent mechanical damage from
occurring.
• Flammable refrigerant - R32 is used in air
conditioner. Please follow the instruction
carefully to avoid any hazard.
• The refrigerating system should not
receive maintenance, service, or repair by
any person.
• Ensure that the area is in the open or that it
is adequately ventilated before breaking
into the system or conducting any hot
work. A degree of ventilation shall
continue during the period that the work is
carried out. The ventilation should safely
disperse any released refrigerant and
preferably expel it externally into the
atmosphere.
• Check that cabling will not be subject to
wear, corrosion, excessive pressure,
vibration, sharp edges or any other
adverse environmental eects. The check
shall also take into account the eects of
aging or continual vibration from sources
such as compressors or fans.
• Under no circumstances shall potential
sources of ignition be used in the searching
for or detection of refrigerant leaks. A
halide torch (or any other detector using a
naked flame) shall not be used. The
following leak detection methods are
deemed acceptable for all refrigerant
systems. Electronic leak detectors may be
used to detect refrigerant leaks but, in the
case of FLAMMABLE REFRIGERANTS, the
sensitivity may not be adequate, or may
need re-calibration. (Detection equipment
shall be calibrated in a refrigerant-free
area.) Ensure that the detector is not a
potential source of ignition and is suitable
for the refrigerant used. Leak detection
equipment shall be set at a percentage of

the LFL of the refrigerant and shall be
calibrated to the refrigerant employed, and
the appropriate percentage of gas (25%
maximum) is confirmed. Leak detection
fluids are also suitable for use with most
refrigerants but the use of detergents
containing chlorine shall be avoided as the
chlorine may react with the refrigerant and
corrode the copper pipe-work.
