of tiffs or any odmr appliance.

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove

the third (ground) prong from the power cord.

Forpersonal safety, this appliance must be

properly grounded.

Tile power cor*l of tiffs appliance is equipped

wkh a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates

wkh a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall

outlet m minimize dm possibility of electric

shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by

a qualified electrician m make sure die outlet

is properly" grounded,

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encounmred,

it is your personal responsibility and obligation

m have it replaced wifll a properly grounded

.'gprong wall outlet.

The air conditioner should always be plugged

into its own individual electrical outlet

which has a voltage rating tt_at matches dm

rating plate.

This provides die best performance arid

also prevents overhyading house wiring

circuits which could cattse a fire hazard

from oveflmated wires.

See die Installation Instructions, Electrical

Requirements section for spedfic electrical

connection requirements.

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 (mininmin) 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.

Howexei; if you mttst use an adapter, where

local codes pemfit, a temporaryconnection

may be made to a properly" grounded 2-prong

wall outlet by use ofa UL-listed adapter

available at most local hardware stores.

The larger slot in file adapter mttst be

aligned ,Mdi 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

widi repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DONOT

ElectricalRequirements

Some models require 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 v_-all

outlet you plan to use is only a 2-prong outlet,

it is your responsibilivy 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 fu_ or circuit

breakel: These models should be installed

on their own single branch circuit fbr best

performance and to prevent overloading

house or apartment wiring circuits, which

could cause a possible fire hazard from

overheating wires.
