HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it isyour personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The air conditioner should always be plugged

@Some models require 230/208-volt AC,
protected with a time-delay fuse or circuit
breaker. These models should be installed on
their own single branch circuit for best
performance and to prevent overloading
house or apartment wiring circuits, which
could cause a possible fire hazard from
overheating wires.

Mode Energy Saver (economie d'#nergie)
Ce mode optimise la puissance de refroidissement
de votre climatiseur, vous faisant du m_me coup
6conomiser de I'_nergie. Une lois la temperature
du point de r_glage atteinte, le ventilateur
s'_teindra par intervalles pour 6conomiser
1'6nergie.II s'allumera aussi p6riodiquement
pour faire en sorte que la pleine capacit6 de
refroidissement du syst_me salt utilis_e. II s'agit
du mode par d6faut de I'appareil. A chaque lois
qu'il est mis hors tension, I'appareil red_marrera
en mode Economie d'6nergie. Cela inclut aussi
le mode Delay (Ddlai de raise en marche). _,
la premiere mise sous tension de I'appareil,
les r6glages de temperature et du ventilateur
indiqueront respectivement 70° et Low (Foible).
Vous pouvez r6gler la vitesse du ventilateur et la
temp6rature selon vos crit_res de confort.
Energy Saver ON (dconomie d'dnergie activde) :
Le mode d'6conomie d'6nergie contribue @r6duire
la consommation d'61ectricit6. Dans ce mode,
il est normal que le ventilateur s'6teigne puis se
rallume en alternance. Cecycle de red6marrage
peut se r6p6ter plusieurs lois. En raison des arr@ts
p6riodiques du ventilateur, vous remarquerez
peut-@treune variation de la temp6rature et de
I'humidit6 ambiantes.
Energy Saver OFF (dconomie d'dnergie ddsactivde):
Lorsque ce mode est d6sactiv6, le ventilateur
fonctionne continuellement, et dans le mode
Cool (refroidissement), le compresseur s'allume
et s'6teint en alternance pour maintenir la
temp6rature ambiante.
