materials, DO NOT use for grounding.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are
in doubt as to whether the appliance is pro-
perly grounded.
NOTE: If codes permit, and a separate grounding
wire is used; it is recommended that a qualified
electrican determine that the grounding path is
adequate and not interrupted by plastic, non-
metallic gaskets, or other insulating materials.
Receptacle wiring
DO NOT modify power supply cord plug. If it
does not fit outlet, have a proper outlet

CARE AND CLEANING
WAURTNIIONGN!
Clean your air conditioner occasionally to keep it looking new. Be sure to unplug the unit
shock
before cleaning to prevent or fire hazards.
Air Filter Cleaning
The air filter should be checked at least once a
month to see if cleaning is necessary. Trapped
particles in the filter can build up and cause an
accumulation of frost on the cooling coils.
Grasp the filter by the center and pull up and out.
Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing deter-
gent and warm water. Rinse filter thoroughly.
Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be
sure the filter is thoroughly dry before replacing.
Or, instead of washing you may vacuum the
filter clean.
104°F (40°C)
Note: Never use hot water over 4to
clean the air filter. Never attempt to operate the
unit without the air filter.
Cabinet Cleaning
Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent
shock or fire hazard. The cabinet and front may
be dusted with an oil-free cloth or washed with
a cloth dampened in a solution of warm water
and mild liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse
thoroughly and wipe dry.
Never use harsh cleaners, wax or polish on the
cabinet front.
Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before
wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around
the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
Plug in air conditioner.
Winter Storage
If you plan to store the air conditioner during the winter,
remove it carefully from the window according to the
installation instructions. Cover it with plastic or return it
to the original carton.
NOTE: To prevent rust or electrical connections from being
damaged, store air conditioner in an upright position and in
a dry place.
