HANDLING ALKALINE BATTERIES

WARNING
When handling alkaline batteries, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following

  1. Should fluid from the battery accidentally get into your eyes, there is a threat of loss of eyesight, do not rub them. Immediately rinse your eyes with clean tap water and then consult a physician immediately.
  2. Do not put the battery in a fire, expose it to heat, dismantle or modify it. If the insulation or safety valve is damaged, the battery may leak fluid, overheat or explode.
  3. Do not insert the battery with the poles reversed. Doing so may cause some abnormality or a short and the battery may leak fluid, overheat or explode.
  4. Keep the battery out of the reach of children. If the battery is swallowed, contact a physician immediately.
  5. If the alkali fluid gets in your mouth, rinse your mouth with water and contact a physician immediately.
  6. If the alkali fluid gets on your skin or clothes, it may burn your skin, thoroughly rinse the affected area with tap water.
  7. Do not mix new and old batteries or other makes of batteries. The different attributes may cause the battery to leak fluid, overheat or explode.
  8. This battery was not made to be recharged. Recharging this battery may damage the insulation or internal structure and may cause the battery to leak fluid, overheat or explode.
  9. Do not damage or remove the label on the exterior of the battery. Doing so may cause the battery to short, leak fluid, overheat or explode.
  10. Do not drop, throw or expose the battery to extreme impact. Doing so may cause the battery to leak fluid, overheat or explode.
  11. Do not alter the shape of the battery. If the insulation or safety valve is damaged, the battery may leak fluid, overheat or explode.
  12. Immediately remove batteries when they have lost all power. Leaving the batteries in the unit for a long time may cause the batteries to leak fluid, overheat or explode due to gas that is generated by the batteries.
  13. Remove the batteries from the unit when not using the unit for an extended period of time. The batteries may leak fluid, overheat or explode due to gas that is generated by the batteries.
  14. Do not apply solder directly to the batteries. The heat may cause the batteries to leak fluid, overheat or explode.
  15. Do not get the batteries wet. Doing so may cause the batteries to overheat.
  16. Store batteries someplace out of direct sunlight where the temperature and humidity are not high. Not doing so may cause the batteries to leak fluid, overheat or explode. Also, it may cause the life and performance of the batteries to decline.
  17. Follow the regulations of the local government when disposing of these batteries.
  18. NEVER mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries with this product.

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 equipment-grounding 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.

DANGER – 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.

BLACK-DECKER-BD08NWES-Window-Air-Conditioner- \(1\)

FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED APPLIANCE RATED LESS THAN 15A 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.

WARNING: Test LCDI before each use.
To test the plug:

  1. Plug power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
  2. Press RESET (on some units a green light will turn on).
  3. Press the TEST button, the circuit should trip and cut all power to the air conditioner(on some units green light may turn off).
  4. Press the RESET button for use. You will hear a click and the A/C is ready for use.
  5. The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to trip when the TEST button is pressed and the unit fails to reset.

NOTES

  • The RESET button must be engaged for proper use.
  • Do not use the power supply cord as an ON/OFF switch. The power supply cord is designed as a protective device.

CAUTION: A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord.

  • The power supply cord contains new user serviceable parts. Opening the tamper-resistant case voids all warranty and performance claims.

NOTE: Your units power cord and plug may differ from the one shown.

WARNING – 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.
