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

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,
