The power cord supplied with this air conditioner contains a device that senses damage to the power cord. To test if your
power cord is working properly, you must do the following:
1. Connect the power supply cord to an electrical outlet.
2. The power supply cord has two buttons located on the head of the plug. One button is marked “TEST”, and the other
is marked “RESET”. Press the “TEST” button; you will hear a click as the “RESET” button pops out.
3. Press the “RESET” button; you will hear a click as the button engages.
4. The power supply cord is now energized and supplying electricity to the air conditioner (on some products this is also
indicated by a light on the plug head).
NOTE: The power cord supplied with this air conditioner contains a current leakage detection device designed to reduce
the risk of fire. In the event the power supply cord is damaged, it cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a new
cord from the product manufacturer.
• Under no circumstances should this device be used to turn the unit on or off.
• The “RESET” button must always be pushed in (engaged) for correct operation.
• The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to reset when the “TEST” button is pushed in.
