ELEC~lCAL REQUIREMENT
The
11*oR
models require a
115/120volt
a.c.,
60
Hzgrounded
outlet protected with a
l%mp
time delay
fuse or circuit breaker.
The power cord on these models has a
thr~rong
(grounding) plug
that
mates with a standard
thr~rong
(grounding) wall outlet (Fig.
l)to
minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard from these appliances.
The
230/20~ok
models require their own single
branch circuit
supp~ing
230/20%olt
a.c.,
protected
with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker. This is
recommended for best performance and to prevent
ovedoading
house wiring circuits, which could cause a
possible fire hazard from overheating wires.
The power cord on these models has a
230/20~h
perpendicular, tandem or large tandem-type plug that
mates respectively with a
230/20tioh
perpendicular,
tandem or large tandem-type wall outlet. These types
of outlets are available at most hardware stores.
Where a standard
two
prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your
personal responsibility
and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly
grounded
thre~rong
wall outlet.

BEFORE USE
Whether your air conditioner is a 11

un~
it is important to have
the

checked by a qualtied electrician if there

USE
OFADAPTER
PIUG(ll~v~tie~on~)
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend
against use of an adapter plug.
However, if you still elect to use
an adapter, where local codes
permit, a temporary connection
may be made to a properly
grounded
tvv~rong
wall outlet
by use of a
UL4isted
adapter
(Fig. 2) available at most local
hardware stores.

~~EUSE
The larger slot in the adapter must
be aligned with the larger slot in
the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the
power cord.
M~ON:
Attaching the adapter
ground terminal to wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and wall
outlet is grounded through house
wiring. You should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, always
hold the adapter with one hand. If
this is not done, the adapter
ground terminal is very
like~
to
break with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground
terminal
break
DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground
has again been established.
USE OF
MNSIONCORDS
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain renditions,
we atrong~ recommend
egainst
the use of an etiension cord.
However, if you still elect to use
an
etiension
cord, it is
absolute~
necessary that it be a
UL4isted
Mre
grounding type appliance
efiension
cord and that the current
carrying rating of the cord in
amperes be equal to or greater than
the branch circuit size shown on the
rating nameplate of the appliance.
