WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock

or personal injury.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

"_: _ N Use this appliance only for its intended

purpose as described in this Owner's

Manual.

This air conditioner must be properly

installed in accordance with tile Installation

Instructions before it is used.

N Tm'n the mode conU'ol OFFand unplug

your air conditioner before making any

repai1* or cleaning.

NOTE:We strongly recommend that any

servicing be pelfonned by a qualified

individual.

N Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling

on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly

and pull straight out from the receptacle.

N Repair or replace immediamly all elecUic

service cords that have become fi'ayed or

othelwise damaged. Do not use a cord that

shows cracks or abiasion damage along its

length or at either the plug or connector end.

N For your safety...do not store or use

combustible mamrials, gasoline or other

flammable vapors or liquids in the vidnity

of this or any other appliance.

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) plugwhich mates

with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall

outlet m minimize the possibility of electric

shock hazard fi'om this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and drcuit checked by a

qualified elecu'ician m make sure the oudet is

properly ,grounded.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encounmred,

it is yore" personal responsibility and obligation

m have it replaced with a properly gq'ounded

?_-prong wall outlet.

The air conditioner should always be

plugged into its own individual elecuJcal

outlet which has a voltage rating that matches

the rating plate.

This provides the best peffommnce and also

prevents overloading house wiling circuits

which could cause a fire hazard fi'om

overheated *vires.

See the Installation Instructions, Electrical

Requirements section for specific elecUical

connection requirements.

ZLWARNING!

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS-775-Voltmodelsonly

Because ofpotential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of an extension cord.

However, ifyou must use an extension cord,

it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed,

14 gauge, 3-wire gwounding type appliance

extension cord having a grounding type plug

and outlet and that tile electrical rating of tile

cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.

CAUtiON:

DO NOT usean extension cord with any ofthe

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.

However, ifyou must use an adapter, where

local codes permit, a temporaryconnection may

be made m a properly gq'ounded 2-prong wall

outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at

most local hardware stores.

The lalger slot in the adapter must be aligned

with tile larger slot in tile wall outlet m provide

proper polarity in the connection of tile power

cord.

When disconnecting tile power cord fl'om the

adapter, always hold the adapter in place with

one hand while pulling the power cord plug

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

adapter ,ground teirninal is very likely m break

with repeated use.

If tile adapter gq'ound terminal breaks,

DO NOT USEtile air conditioner until a

proper ,ground has been established.
