HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Donot, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord
For personal safetg this appliance must be
properly grounded,
The power cord ot this applianc( is equipp< d
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which
mates with a standard 39tong (grounding)
wall outlet to minimize ill< possibility of
electric shock hazard tiom this appliance.
Power cord may includea current
intcrnlptcr devic(. A test ::51(1rcsct button is
provided on ll}_!plug (ase. The device shouM
b( rested o51 a periodic basis by t]:_t pressing
file gESgbutton and th(n tile RESEgbutton.
if th< TESTbutton does not trip or if the
RESETbuuon will not stW <ngug< d,
discominue use of the air conditioner
and comac_ a qualifi< d se:vice teclmi(ian.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make smc the
outlet is properly grounded.
Where a 2-1>rong wall oudet is encounmrcd,
it is your p_ rsonal responsibili b" and
obligation u) hme it rcplac_ d wifll a prop< rl}
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The air condition< r should ahwws be plugged
into its own individual electrical outht which
has a vohage rating that matches th< rating
