3. Do, not use an extension cord. See page 10 for more details.

4. Do not start/stop operation by plugging/unplugging the _wer cord.

5. IIIfthe power cord is damaged and r_uires replacement, have an Authorized

Sewicer install an exact replacement part.

1i_ Being expos_ to direct aidlow for an extend_ period of time oould be

hazardous to your health. Do not expose occupants, pets, or plants to direct

airflow for extended periods of time.

2. Due to the _ssibility d oxygen deficiency, ventilate the r_m when used

together with stoves or other heating device&

3 Do, not use this air conditioner for non-specified sp_ial purposes (e.g.

preserving pr_ision devices, fo_, pets,, plants, and art objects). Such usage

could damage the items.

4. The air conditioner is a _nsurner comfort appliance, not a precision climate

control system.

i. Do not touch the metal parts of the unit when removing the filter. I_uries can

occur when handling sharp metal edges.

2. Do not use water to clean inside the air conditioner. Exposure to water can

destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock.

3. When cleaning the unit, first make sure that the _er and breaker are turned

off. The fan rotates at a very high speed during operation. There is a

_ssibili_ of injury if the unit's p_er is accidentally trigg,eredl on while

We strongly discourage the use of an adapter due to potentia! safety h_ards.

For temporary connections, use only a UL-lis.ted adapter, available from most

local hardware stores. Ensure that the large slot in the adapter is aligned with

the large slot in the receptacle for a proper polarity connection.

To,disconnect the power cord from the adapter, use one hand on each to avoid

damaging the ground terminal. Avoiid frequently unplugging the power cord as

this can lead to eventual ground terminal damage,
