BEFORE USING

®This air condiuoner must be

properly installed in accordance

with the Installation Instructions

before it is used.

* Repair or replace immediatel?

• Turn the mode control to OFFand

unplug your air conditioner before

making aW repairs.

NOTE:We strongly recommend

that any servicing be perfolTned by

all electric service cords that have a qualified individual.

become frayed or otherwise

_iiii _ii i ii _

The use of an extension cord is not

recommended. However, if an

extension cord is required to reach

the nearest wall receptacle, use only

a UL-listed, 3-wire, grounded, 14

gauge, 15A, 125V appliance exten-

sion cord.

CAUTION:

DO NOT use an extension cord with

any of the 208/230-volt models.

This is a temporary method.

UL-listed adapters are avail-

able at most hardware stores.

Because most 2-prong outlets are

not grounded, we strongly advise

against using an adapter plug.

However, a temporax T connection

may be made where local codes

permit and if the 2-prong wall out-

let is properly grounded.

When you plug the adapter in,

make sure the larger prong goes

into the larger slot to provide the

proper polarity fbr the power cord.

FORPROPERGROUNDING:

1 Screw the adapter to the outlet,

using the outlet cover screw.

2 Ground the outlet through the house

wiring.

When disconnecting the power

cord from the adapter, hold the

adapter close to the outlet while

pulling the plug out. If this is not

clone, the grounding connector is

likely to break with repeated use.

If the grounding connector breaks,

DO NOTUSEthe air conditioner

until a proper ground has again

been made.

* For personal safety, this air conditioner must be

properly grounded.

*It is important to have the wall outlet and circuit

checked by a qualified electrician if there is any

doubt as to whether a proper ground exists.

*Follow National Electrical (;ode (NEC) or local

codes and ordinances.

CAUTION:

*De net, under any circumstances, cut or remove

the third (ground)prong from the power cord.

*Do not change the plug on the power cord of this

air conditioner.

*Aluminum house wiring may present special

We recommend that the 230/208-volt, 60 Hz

models be installed on their own single branch

circuit supplying 230/208-volt a.c., protected

with a time delay fl_se or circuit breaker.

Parallel Perpendicular Tandem

115V. 230/208V. 230/208V.

15 Amp. 20 Amp. 15Amp.

This is recommended %r best per%rmance and

to prevent overloading house or apartment

wiring circuits, which could cause a possible fire

hazard fi'om overheating wires.

The 115-volt models require a 115/120-volt a.c.,

60 Hz grounded outlet protected with a 15-amp

time delay fllse or circuit breaker.

The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the possi-

bility 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 with a properly

grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
