BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
A WARNIN G To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
e Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your air conditioner unless it is specifically recommended in
this manual. All other services should be referred to a qualified technician.
® If the power cord becomes worn or damaged, the cord should only be replaced by a qualified service
technician using genuine replacement parts.
e The air conditioner should be plugged into its own grounded circuit (15A, 60Hz, 115VAC).
e Do not plug other appliances into the same outlet; it can overload the circuit and cause a fire or electric shock.
® Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. It can result in the risk of electric shock.
® Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with or climb on the air conditioner.
e Be sure all packaging materials are removed from the air conditioner before use.
e Do not disassemble or modify the air conditioner or the power cord. It can result in the risk of electric shock or
fire.
e Do not place the power cord or air conditioner near a heater, radiator, or other heat source. It can result in the
risk of electric shock or fire.
® Do not use this or any appliance near flammable gases or liquids or other combustibles, such as gasoline,
benzene, thinner, etc. It can result in the risk of electric shock or fire.
e Make sure the power cord is plugged firmly and completely into the outlet. It can result in the risk of electric
shock or fire.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
e Do not start or stop operation by plugging in or unplugging the power cord. It can result in the risk of
electric shock.
® [f the air conditioner is making unusual sounds or is emitting smoke or an unusual odor, unplug it
immediately.
® Do not use if the electrical socket is loose or damaged. It can result in the risk of electric shock or fire.
® Do not operate with wet hands or in a damp environment.
e Do not use this or any electrical appliance if you smell gas. It can result in the risk of fire or explosion.
® Turn off and unplug the air conditioner before cleaning to avoid the risk of electric shock.
e Do not clean the unit with water. Water can enter the unit and damage the insulation, creating a shock
hazard. If water enters the unit, unplug it immediately and contact Customer Service. It can result in
the risk of electric shock.
e Utilize two or more people to lift and install the unit.
BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
A CAUTION To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons when using this appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
® To avoid possible cuts, avoid contacting the metal parts of the air conditioner when removing or
re-installing the filter. It can result in the risk of personal injury.
® Do not block the air inlet or outlet of the air conditioner. Reduced air flow will result in poor
performance and could damage the unit.
® Always grasp the plug when plugging in or unplugging the air conditioner. Never unplug by pulling on
the cord. It can result in the risk of electrical shock and damage.
® Always turn off and unplug the air conditioner when it will not be used for extended period of time.
This conserves energy and reduces the chance of accidents.
e Secure the wheels with wheel locks to prevent the air conditioner from rolling on smooth floors.
® Install the air conditioner on a sturdy, level floor capable of supporting up to 110 Ibs (50 kg).
Installation on a weak or unlevel floor can result in the risk of property damage and personal injury.
® Make sure the air conditioner is the correct size for the area you wish to cool.
e Close all doors and windows to the room for most efficient operation.
e To prevent damage to the surface finish, use only a soft cloth to clean the air conditioner. Do not use
wax, thinner, or a strong detergent.

Continuous Drainage
During the DRY mode, you will need a garden hose (sold separately) to drain the condensate from the unit.
Follow the steps below:
e Unscrew the drain cap of continuous drain outlet(Fig.20).
e Connect one end of the garden hose (sold separately) to the drain outlet then lead the other end into
a drain that is lower than the unit(Fig.21).
Garden hose
Figure 20 Figure 21
NOTE
® Condensate may flow out after removing the drain cap, if the unit is running in Cool or ECO mode.
When you want to remove the garden hose, prepare a drip tray (not supplied) to collect the
condensate from the drain outlet.
e Please be sure that the height of the drain and section of the drain hose should not be higher than
that of the drain outlet, or the continous drainage may not work properly.
® During Cool or ECO mode, itis recommended to disable continuous drainage by replacing the
drain cap to the drain outlet, to reach the maximum performance.

Put a drip tray (not supplied) under the continuous drain outlet, then
unscrew the drain cap to allow the condensate to flow into the drip tray. Figure 19
Replace the drain cap to the continuous drain outlet when no
condensate flows out.
Put the drip tray under the bottom drain outlet, then remove the
rubber stopper from the drain outlet, to allow the condensate to flow
