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.

Tile power coM of fl_is appliance is equipped

with a 3-prong (gTounding) plug which mates

with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall

outlet m minimize the possibiligv of elecUic

shock hazard flom this appliance.

Hme the wall outlet and circuit checked by

a qualified electrician to make sure tile outlet

is properly grounded.

'_/_]lerea 9-prong wall outlet is encounmred,

it is your personal responsibility and obligation

to have it replaced with a properly grounded

_prong wall outlet.

Tile air conditioner should always be plugg>d

into its own individual electrical outlet

which has a x_lmge rating fllat matches the

rating plate.

Tiffs proxqdes tile best performance and also

prexents overloading house wiring circuits

which could cause a fire hazard flom

oxerheated wires.

WARNING!

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS--115-Voltmodelsonly

Because ofpotential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of an extension cord.

Howex>t; if you must/lse an extension cord,

it is absolutely necessary that it be a UiAismd,

14 gauge, 3-wire grounding b'pe appliance

extension cord having a grounding type plug

and outlet and flint fl)e electrical rating of rite

cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 195 x_lts.

CAUtiON:

DO NOT use an extension cord with anyof 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.

Howex>[; if you must rise an adapte[; where

local codes permit, a temporary connection may

be made to a properly grounded 9-prong wall

outlet by use of a UiAismd adaptor available at

most local hardware stores.

The larger slot in fl_e adapter must be

aligned with the larger slot in file wall outlet

to provide proper polarity in the connection

of the power cord.

When disconnecting file power cord flom the

adapter; alwws hold tile adaptor in place with

one hand while pulling tile power cord plug

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

adaptor ground temfinal is x>tT likely' to b_eak

and carefully.

• IMPORTANT - Savethese

instructions for local inspector's use.

• IMPORTANT - Observeall

governing codes and ordinances.

•Note to Installer - Be sure to leave these

instructions with the Consumer.

•Note to Consumer - Keep these

instructions for future reference.

(_) ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

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

60 Hz grounded outlet protected with a

15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.

The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the

possibility 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.

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

best performance and to prevent

overloading house or apartment wiring

circuits, which could cause a possible

fire hazard from overheating wires.

CAUTION:

Do not, 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

problems--consult a qualified electrician.
