that shows cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either the plug or

connector end.

@ For your _ety...do not store or me

combustible materials, gasoline or other

flammable vapor:s or liquids in the vicinity

of this or any other appliance.

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove

the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

For personal safetg, this appliance must be

properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped

with a Nprong (grounding) plug which mates

with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall

outlet m minimize the possibility of electric

shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by

a qualified electrician m make sure the outlet

is properly grounded.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,

it is your personal responsibility and obligation

m have it replaced with a property grounded

3-prong wall outlet.

The air conditioner should always be plugged

into its own individual electrical outlet

which has a voltage rating that matches the

rating plate.

This provides the best peribrmance and also

prevents overloading house wMng circuits

which could cause a fire hazard from

overheated wires.

See the Installation Instructions, Electrical

Requirements section for specific electrical

connection requirements.

WARNING!

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS-715-Voltmodelsonly

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of an extension cord. Z_CAUTION:DONOTuse an extension

cord with anyof the230/208 voltmodels.

Howeve,; if you must use an extension cord,

it is absolutely necessary that it be a ULqisted,

14 gauge, _wire grounding type appliance

extension cord having a grounding type plug

and outlet and that the electrical rating of the

cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volLs.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS-715-Voltmodelsonly

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the use

of an adapter plug.

However; if you must use an adapter, where

local codes pemfit, a temporaryconnection may

be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall

outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available

at most local hardvrare stores.

The larger slot in tile adapter must be aligned

with the larger slot in the wall outlet m provide

proper lmladty in tile connection of tile

power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from tile

adapte_; always hold the adapter in place with

one hand while pulling the power cord plug

with the other hand. If this is not done, the

adapter ground terminal is very likely m break

with repeated use.

If tile adapter ground terminal breaks, DONOT

USE tile air conditioner until a proper ground

has been established.

this air conditioner.

Aluminum house wiring may present special

problems--consult a qualified electrician.

It is important to have the wall outlet and

circuit checked by a quafified electrician

if there is any doubt as to whether a proper

ground exists.

Follow National Electric Codes (NEC) and/or

local codes and ordinances.

ElectricalRequirements

Some models require ll5/120-volt a.c.,

60 Hz grounded outlet protected with

a 15-amp time delay fi_lse or circuit

breaker.

The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the

possibil@y of electric shock hazard. If the wall

outlet you plan to use is only a 2-prong outlet,

it is your responsibility to have it replaced witb

a properly grounded 3-prong w@l outlet.

Some models require 230/208-volt a.c.,

protected with a time delay fuse or

circuit breaker: These models should

be installed on their own single branch

circuit for best performance and to

prevent overloading house or

apartment wiring circuits, which

could cause a possible fire hazard

fi'om overheating wires.
