SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety Rules
To prevent injury to the user or other people and property damage, the following instructions must be followed.
Incorrect operation due to ignoring of instructions may cause harm or damage.
Your air conditioner should be used in such
a way that it is protected from moisture (i.e.
condensation, water, etc.). Do not place or

be pulled into water or any other liquid. If
this occurs, immediately unplug the unit.
Always transport your air conditioner in a
vertical position and place on a stable, level
surface during use.

Always contact a qualified service
technician to carry out any repairs. If the
supply cord is damaged, it must only be
repaired by a qualified service technician.
Keep an open area of at least 12” all
around the unit (i.e. walls, furniture,
curtains, etc.).
If the air conditioner is knocked over during
use, immediately turn off the unit and
unplug from the main power supply
Do not operate your air conditioner in a wet room such
as a bathroom or laundry room.
