check with the company handling disposal

about what to do.

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove

the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

For personal safety, this appliance must be

properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped

with a 3-prong (grounding) ping which

mares with a standard 3q)rong (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 properly grounded.

Where a 2-prong wall ontlet is encounmred,

it is your personal responsibility and

obligauon m lame it replaced with a properly

grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The air conditioner should always be plugged

into its own individual electrical outlet which

has a xoltage rating that matches the rating

plate.

This provides the best performance and also

prevents oxerloading house wiring circuits

which could cause a fire hazard flom

oxerheated wires.

See the Installation Instructions, Electrical

Requirements section for specific electrical

connection requirements.

WARNING!

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS--115-Voltmodelsonly

Because of potential safety hazards under

certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an extension cord.

Howe_; ifvon n]nst rise an extension cord,

it is absolutely necessm T flint it be a UL-listed,

14 gauge, 3-wire grounding type appliance

extension cord having a grounding type plug

and outlet and tilat rite electrical rating of

tile cord be 15 ampeies (minimum) and

125 _lts.

CAUtiON:

DONOT use an extension cord with any ofthe

230/208 volt models.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS--115-Vo/tmodelsonly

Because of potential safety hazards under

certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an adapter plug.

Howex>i; if you nmst nse an adaptei; where

local codes permit, a temporary connection

may be made m a properly grounded

2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL-listed

adapter availahle at most local hardware

StoI'es.

When disconnecting tile power cord flom

tile adapml; always hold the adapter in place

with one hand while pulling tim power cord

plug witil the otiler hand. It"this is not done,
