Manual.

N This air conditoner must be properly"

installed in accorxlanee with file Installation

Instnmfions beibre it is used.

@ Turn file mode control m OFFand unplug

your air conditioner beIbre making ally

repairs or cleaning.

NOTE:We strongly reconmmnd that any

selwicing be pertbnned by a qualified

individual.

@ Never unplug your air conditoner by

pulling on tim power coM. Always grip plug

firmly and pull straight out from the

receptacle.

@ Repair or replace iinmediately all electric

service cords fllat have become flayed or

otherwise dain_ed. Do not use a cord that

shows cracks or abrasion dmn_e along its

lengfll or at either the plug or connector

end.

@ For your s_ety...do not store or use

combustble materials, gasoline or other

flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity"

of tiffs or any other appliance.

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

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 coM of tiffs appliance is equipped

with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates

with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall

outlet m minimize the possibility of electric

shock hazard from tiffs appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified electrician m make sure the outlet is

properly" grounded.

"v@mre a 2-prong wall outlet is encounmred,

it is your pe*:sonal responsibility" and obligation

to have it replaced with a properly grounded

@prong wall outlet.

The air conditioner should always be

plugged into its own individual electrical

outlet which has a voltage rating that matches

tile rating plate..

This provides tim best perfomlance and also

prevents ovefl_yading house wMng circuits

which could cause a fire hazard from

overheated wires.

Requirements section t:or specific electrical

WARNING!

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS-77&Voltmodelsonly

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of an extension cord.

However; if you must use an extension cord,

it is al_olumly nece_ry that it be a UL-listed,

14 gauge, 3-wire grounding type appliance

extension corvt having a grounding tytm plug

and outlet and that the electiical rating of the

cord be 15 amperes 0ninimum) and 125 volts.

,_ CAUTION:

DONOT usean extension cord with any of

the230,/208voltmodels.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS-115-Voltmodelsonly

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the use

of an adapter plug.

Howexe,; if you nlust use an adapter, where

local codes permit, a temporaryconnection may

be made to a properly grounded 2-prong w-all

outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at

most local hardware stores.

The larger slot in tim adaptor must be aligned

wifll the larger slot in the wall outlet m provide

proper polarity in the connection of the power

cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from the

adapte,; always hold the adapter in place wifll

one hand while pulling the power cord plug

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

adapter ground mmlinal is ve_T likely m break

with repeated use.

If tile adapter ground mrminal breaks, DONOT

USE tile air conditioner until a proper ground

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

60 Hz grounded outlet protecmd with

a 15-arnp time delay" fuse or circuit

breakm:

_l]ae 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the

possibilivy of"electric shock hazard. If the wall outlet

you plan m use is only" a 2-prong outlet, it is your

responsibility to have it replaced with a properly"

grounded 3-prong wall 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 bestperformance and to prevent overloading

houm or apamnent wiring circuits, which

could cause a possible fire hazard from
