Safety Precautions
Please read through these instructions before
you start the installation process. Improper

parts, and specified tools for the
installation. Using non-standard parts can
cause water leakage, electrical shock, fire,

•Make sure that the outlet you are using is
grounded and has the appropriate voltage.
The power cord is equipped with a three-
prong grounding plug to protect against
shock. Voltage information can be found

shock.
•DO NOT install your air conditioner in a
wet room such as a bathroom or laundry
room. Too much exposure to water can

dropped or damaged.
•The unit must be kept free from
obstruction to ensure proper function.
•DO NOT allow children to play with the
air conditioner. Children must be
supervised around the unit at all times.

during use, turn off the unit and unplug
it from the main power supply
immediately. Visually inspect the unit to
ensure there is no damage. If you
suspect the unit has been damaged,
contact a technician or customer
service for assistance.
