Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove

the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For

personal safe_ this appliance must be properly

grounded.

The power cord of dfis appliance is equipped

with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates

with a standard 3-piong (grounding) wall

outlet m minimize the possibility of electric

shock hazard flom this appliance.

Haxe the wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is

Where a 9-prong wall outlet is enconnmred,

it is your personal responsibility and obligation

m have it replaced with a properly grounded

3-prong wall outlet.

The air conditioner should ahvays be

plugged into its ow_:,individual electrical

outlet which has a xolmge rating that matches

the rating plato.

This proxqdes the best performance and also

prexents overloading house wiring circuits

which could cause a fire hazard flom

oxerheated wires.

See the Installation Instructions, Electrical

Requirements section for specific elect[deal

connection requirements.

WARNING!

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS--115-Voltmodelsonly

Because ofpotential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of an extension cord.

Howexei; if you must use an exmnsion coM,

it is absolutely necessai T tllat it be a UiAismd,

14 gauge, 3-wire grounding type appliance

extension cord having a grounding type plug

and outlet and that the elecuJcal rating of file

cord be 15 amperes (nfininnnn) and 195 x_lts.

CAUtiON:

DO NOT use an extension cord with any of

the 230/208 volt models.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS--115-Voltmodelsonly

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the use

of an adapter plug.

Howe\>i; if yon must use an adaptei; where

local codes i)ermit, a temporaryconnection may

be made to a i)roperly grounded 21)rong wall

ElectricalRequirements

(_ Some models require 115/120-volt a.c.,

60 Hz grounded outlet protected with a

15-amp time delay fllse or circuit breaker:

The 3-prong grotmding pltlg minimizes the

possibility of electric shock hazard. If the wall outlet

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

responsibili b' to have it replaced with a properly

gmtmded 3-prong wall outlet.

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

protected with a time delas' filse or circuit

breaker. These models should be installed

on their own single branch circuit Ira" bestpe_fom_ance and to prexent oxerloading

house or ai}artment wiring, circuits, which

could cause a possible fire hazard from
