1. Plug in the _wer cord proper_.
2. Use a d_icated circuit. Overloading the line could create a fire h_ard.
3. Do not u_ an extension c,ord. See page 1i for more details.
4. Do not staWstop operation by pluggin_unplugging the power cod.
5. IIf_e power cord is damaged and requires repla_ment, have an Authorized
Se_icer instaB an exact replacement pa_.
i. Being ex_d to direct airflow for _ e_ended peri_ of time could be
hazardous to your health. Do not e_ose o_upants, pets, or plants to dir_
airflow _r extended periods of time.
2. Due to the possibility of oxygen deficiency, ventilate the room when us_
together with stoves or other heating d_i_s.
3. Do not u_ _is air _nditioner for non-specified special purposes (e.g.
preserving precision devices, P_, pets, plants, and art objects). Such u_ge
could damage the items.
4. _e air condiUoner is a consumer _m_ appliance, not a precision climate
control system.
i. Do not touch the metal pa_s of the unit when removing the filter. Injuries can
o_ur when handling sha_ metal _ges.
2:. IDo not use water to clean inside the air condffioner. Exposure to water can
destroy _e insulation, leading to _ssible et_ric sh_.
3. When cleaning the unit, first make sure _at _e power and br_ker are turned
off. The fan rotates at a very high speed during operation. _ere is a
possibil_ of injury if the unit's power is accidentally triggered on whBe
