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.

Tile power cor*l 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 this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by

a qualified electrician m make sure tim outlet

is properly" grounded,

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encounmred,

it is your personal responsibility and obligation

m have it replaced wit1 a properly grounded

.'gprong 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 tim best performance and also

prevents overloading house wMng circuits

which could cause a fire hazard from

overheated wires.

it WARNING!

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS-77&Voltmodelsonly

Because ofpotential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of an extension cord.

However; if"you inust use an extension COIII,

it is absolumly necessary that it be a ULlismd,

14 gauge, .%wire grounding type appliance

extension cord having a grounding type plug

and outlet arid that the electiical rating of the

cor_l be 15 amperes (mininnun) arid 125 volts.

_, CAUtiON:

DO NOT usean extension cord with any of the

230/208 volt models.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS-715-Voltmodelsonly

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of an adapter plug.

Howexe,; 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 die adapter mttst be

aligned widi the larger slot in Hie wall outlet

m provide proper polarity in the connection

of the power coM.

When disconnecting file power cord from die

adapm*; always hold the adapter in place widi

one hand while pulling the power cord plug

widi the other hand. If dfis is not done, the

Mapter ground terminal is ve*y likely to break
