Kenmore 408.72012 User Manual

•  TEMPORARY USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD. We strongly discourage the 

use of an extension cord due to potential safety hazards. For temporary 

situations, use only CSA and UL certified 3-prong grounded extension 

cords designed and approved specifically for air conditioners.

•  To prevent injury from handling sharp objects, do not touch the metal parts 

of the unit when removing the filter.

•  Do not block the air inlet or air outlet. It may cause failure of the 

appliance. 

•  Always store and transport the air conditioner upright to maintain the 

compressor in a proper condition. Prior to installation, allow air conditioner 

to stand upright for 12 hours.

•  Only operate the unit on an even horizontal surface to ensure no water 

leaks.

•  This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with 

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience 

and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction 

concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. 

Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the 

appliance.

•  Do not insert the power plug into a wall outlet if either is loose or 

damaged. It may cause fire and electric shock.

•  Unplug the unit if strange sounds, odors or smoke come from it.
•  Hold the plug by the head when unplugging the unit. Do not pull on the 

cord.

•  Unplug the air conditioner if it will not be used for a long period to 

prevent accidental startup and the possibility of injury.

•  Do not place heavy objects on the power cord, and take care so that the 

cord will not be damaged.

•  Clean the air filters regularly. A contaminated air filter reduces capacity.
•  Use a soft cloth to clean. Do not use wax, thinners or a strong detergent. 

The appearance of the air conditioner may deteriorate, change color or 

develop surface flaws.

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

destroy the insulation, leading to possible electric shock.

•  If water enters the product, turn off the power switch of the main body of 

the appliance. 

•  Being exposed to direct airflow for an extended period of time could be 

hazardous to your health.

•  Do not use this air conditioner for refrigeration purposes (e.g. preserving 

precision devices, food, pets, plants and art objects.)

•  Due to the possibility of oxygen deficiency within the room, ventilate the 

room when used together with stoves or other heating devices.

•  The air conditioner is a consumer comfort appliance, not a precision 

climate control system.

•  Always insert the filter securely. Never operate without a filter.
•  Do not drink water drained from air conditioner. It contains contaminants 

that may make you sick. 

•  Do not use this unit in conditions where the temperature may fall below 

50°F (10°C). Failure to do so can cause severe damage to the unit.
