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,
DONOT use an adapterp/ug with thisappliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet
to minimize the possibility of electric shock
hazard from this appliance.
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 TESTbutton and
then the RESETbutton while plugged into the
outlet. If the TESTbutton does not trip or if the
RESETbutton will not stay engaged, discontinue
use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified
service technician.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it isyour personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The air conditioner should always be plugged
into its own individual electrical outlet which has
a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical
Requirementssection for specific electrical
connection requirements.

(3 ELECTRICALREQUIREMENTS
(_ ome models require a 115/120-volt AC,
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 wall outlet
you plan to use is only a 2-prong outlet, it isyour
responsibility to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Some models require 230/208-volt AC,
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.

COMO CONECTARLA ELECTR/C/DAD
Bajo ninguna circunstancia, corte o remueva la
tercera pLla (tierra) del cable electrico. En pos
de la seguridad personal, este electrodomestico
debe siempre conectarse a tierra.
NO use un enchufe adaptador con este
electrodomestico.
Elcable electrico de este electrodomestico esta
equipado con un enchufe de tres pLlaS(tierra)
que combina con un tomacorriente estandar
de tres tomas de pared para minimizar la
posibilidad de una descarga eBctrica.
Elcable de alimentacion incluye un
dispositivo para interrupcion de corriente.
Se incluye un boron de prueba y de reinicio
en el dispositivo. Eldispositivo debe ponerse
a prueba periodicamente: primero se presiona
el boron de TEST(prueba)y luego RESET
(reinicio) mientras se encuentra enchufado al
tomacorriente. Siel boron TESTno se dispara
o si el boron RESETno queda enganchado,
deje de utilizar el acondicionador de aire y
comuniquese con un tecnico calificado.
Pida a un tecnico que inspeccione el
tomacorriente y el circuito para cerciorarse
de que el tomacorriente esta conectado a
tierra de la manera apropiada.
Donde exista un tomacorriente de dos
tomas, es su responsabilidad y obligacion
personal hacer que dicho tomacorriente
sea reemplazado por uno de tres tomas
con conexion a tierra.
Elacondicionador de aire deberia siempre estar
conectado a un tomacorriente individual con su
circuito de voltaje correspondiente.
Esto proporciona el mayor rendimiento y
ademas evita que los circuitos del resto de
la casa se sobrecarguen, Io cual podria causar
incendios pot el sobrecalentamiento del
cableado.
