•(
pulj)ose as described in tills )wrier s
Manual.
_{::This air conditioner must be properly
installed in accordance with tile Installation
Instructions before it is used.
_::Nexer unplug your air conditioner by pulling
on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly
and pull straight out fiom tile receptacle.
_: Replace immediately all elecu_ic service
cords that haxe become fiwed or otherwise
damaged. A damaged power supply cord
must be replaced with a new power supply
cord obtained from file ma*mfacun_er and
not repaired. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damag_ along its length
or at eidler die plug or connector end.
qT{_:Turn the unit OFFand unplug your air
conditioner before making any repairs
or cleaning.
NOTE"Westronglyrecommendthat anyservicing
be performedbya qualified individual.
_:;For your safety...do not store or use
combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in tile vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
E:,IAll air conditioners contain refi_igerants,
which under federal law must be removed
prior to product disposal. If you are g>tfing
rid of an old product with refrigerants, check
with tile company handling disposal about
what to do.
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For
personal safe_ this appliance must be properly
grounded.
The power cord of dfis appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet m minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard fiom this appliance.
Power cold includes a current intemq)ter
device. A rest and reset button is provided on
the plug case. The device should be msmd on a
periodic basis by first pressing the TESTbutton
and then the RESETbutton. If the rESrbutmn
does not trip or if tile RESETbutton will not
stay engwged, discondmm use of tile air
conditioner and contact a qualified service
technician.
Where a 9-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to haxe it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall oudet.
Tile air conditioner should always be
plugged into its own individual electrical
outlet which has a xoltage rating that matches
tile rating plate.
This provides tile best perfommnce and also
prexents oxerloading house wiring circuits
which cou]d cause a fire hazard from
oxerheated wires.
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical
Requirements section for specific electrical
connection requirements.
Haxe the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure tile outlet is
properly grounded.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read these instructions completely
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.

OELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
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.
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED
Adjustable wrench
Phillips head screwdriver
Pencil
Level
Flat-blade screwdriver
Ruler or tape measure
Scissors or knife
Power cord includes a current interrupter
device. A test and reset button is provided on
the plug case. The device should be tested on a
periodic basis by first pressing the TEST button
and then the RESET button. If the TEST button
does not trip or if the RESET button will not stay
engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner
and contact a qualified service technician.
