GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. The appliance must be connected to a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug connected to the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED APPLIANCE RATED LESS THAN15A AND INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V SUPPLY CIRCUIT

The appliance is for use on a nominal 120V circuit and should be connected to a grounding outlet that looks like the one illustrated below. The use of a temporary adaptor is not recommended.

LCDI POWER CORD AND PLUG

This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) power cord that is required by UL. This power supply cord contains state-of-the-art electronics that sense leakage current. If the cord is damaged and leakage occurs, power will be disconnected from the unit.

The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if the plug is functioning properly.

Test LCDI before each use.

To test the plug:

NOTES:

Always make sure the reset button is pushed in for correct operation
It must be replaced by one obtained from the product manufacturer.

RISK OF FIRE
It is important the plug fits tightly into the wall outlet. If the plug does not fit securely and appears loose, it should not be used. Have a licensed electrician replace the receptacle.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

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.

ALWAYS DO THIS

NEVER DO THIS

ENERGY SAVE

Always transport your air conditioner in a vertical position and stand on a stable, level surface during use.
Always use the switch on the control panel to start or shut off the unit.
Always contact a qualified person to carry out repairs. If the supply cord is damaged it must be repaired by a qualified technician.

SUGGESTED TOOLS FOR WINDOW KIT INSTALLATION

WINDOW SLIDER KIT INSTALLATION

Your window slider kit has been designed to fit most standard "Vertical" and "Horizontal" window applications; however, it may be necessary for you to improvise/modify some aspect of the installation procedures for certain types of window. Minimum and maximum window openings:

MAXIMUM : 47.2" (120 cm)
MINIMUM : 27.5" (70 cm)

NOTE: Adjust the length of the window slider kit according to the window width or height, and secure it with the provided locking screws.

NOTE: If the window opening is less than 27.5" the minimum length of the window slider kit, cut the one with a hole in it short to fit for the window opening. Never cut out the hole in window slider kit.

EXHAUST HOSE INSTALLATION

The air exhaust hose and hose inlet must be installed or removed from the portable air conditioner in accordance with the way it is being used:

COOL, DEHUMIDIFY, HEAT (Heat models BPP08HWTB and BPP10HWTB only: Air exhaust hose and hose inlet should be connected to the portable air conditioner.

FAN: Air exhaust hose and hose inlet should be disconnected from the portable air conditioner.

Connect hose outlet to other end of air exhaust hose. Push hose outlet over the end of the hose, push in slightly and then start threading it on in a clockwise direction. (see Fig. 2)
Align the tabs on the hose inlet into the slots over the air outlet, insert and push down. (see Fig. 3)
Affix the hose outlet into the window slider kit and seal. (Fig. 4 & 5)

NOTE: The exhaust hose can be compressed or extended moderately, but it is desirable to keep the length to a minimum. Also make sure that the hose does not have any sharp bends.
