Operational
Do not expose the skin directly to cool air for long periods of time. (Do not sit in the draft).
This could harm to your health.
Do not use the product for special purposes, such as preserving foods, works of art, etc. It is a
consumer air conditioner, not a precision refrigerant system
There is risk of damage or loss of property.
Do not block the inlet or outlet of air flow.
It may cause product failure.
Use a soft cloth to clean. Do not use harsh detergents, solvents, etc.
There is risk of fire, electric shock, or damage to the plastic parts of the product.
Do not touch the metal parts of the product when removing the air filter. They are very sharp.
There is risk of personal injury.
Do not step on pr put anything on the product. (outdoor units)
