Safety Information
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This portable air conditioner must not be used in rooms under the
following conditions: potentially explosive atmosphere,
aggressive atmospheres, featuring a high concentration of
solvents or an extremely high ratio of dust.
Keep Children Away: Do not allow children to play with or around this unit, which could result in injury.
Be sure the unit is inaccessible to children when not attended. This appliance is not intended for use by
person (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
appliances by a person responsible for their safety.
Keep Unit Grounded: Always operate the unit with a grounded plug and a grounded electrical outlet.
A grounded plug is an essential safety feature that helps reduce the risk of shock or fire.
Protect Power Cord from Damage: Never operate a unit with a damaged power cord, as this may
lead to electrical or fire hazards. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a cord of
the same type and amperage rating.
Extension Cords: Extension cords must be grounded and able to deliver the appropriate voltages to
the unit.
Handle with Care: Do not drop, throw or crash the air conditioner. Rough treatment can damage the
components or wiring and create a hazardous condition.
Run on Stable Surface: Always operate the unit on a stable, level surface, for example the floor or a
strong counter, so that the portable air conditioner cannot fall and cause injury.
Keep Out of Water: Never operate the unit in pooled or standing water, as this may create a risk of
injury from electrical shock. Do not store or operate outdoors. If electrical wiring or components become
wet, thoroughly dry them before using the unit. If in doubt do not use the portable air conditioner and
consult a qualified electrician or a Meaco approved engineer.
Keep Air Intakes Clear: Do not clog or block the air intakes by placing the portable air conditioner too
close to curtains, walls or anything that will restrict the air inlet. This may cause the unit to overheat and
result in a fire or electrical hazard.
Keep Electrical Components Dry: Never allow water inside the portable air conditioner’s electrical
components. If these areas become wet for any reason, thoroughly dry them before using the portable
air conditioner. If in doubt, do not use the portable air conditioner and consult a qualified electrician or
a Meaco approved engineer.
The operator must make the operating instruction available for the user and make sure that the user
does understand the manual.
The MeacoCool MC Series 12000 BTU, 14000 BTU and 16000 BTU portable air
conditioners use the new R290 refrigerant gas to comply with European Environmental
Directives. R290 is kinder to the environment and is part of attempts to reduce global
warming as it has a low greenhouse effect (GWP).
When using the MeacoCool MC Series portable air conditioner you must take into account the following:
• This portable air conditioner uses about 240 grams of R290 refrigerant in the 12000 BTU model
and 270 grams of R290 refrigerant in the 14000 BTU model and 265 grams of R290 refrigerant
in the 16000 BTU model, which is flammable. Therefore, it is part of a sealed system and must
only be serviced by a trained Meaco engineer.
• Do not use or store this portable air conditioner in a room smaller than 4m² to prevent a fire or
explosion hazard if there is a leak of refrigerant and the gas comes into contact with an ignition
source.
