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.
DONOTuse an adapter p/ug with this appliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mares
_dth a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
Power cord includes a current interrupmr
dex,ice. A test and reset button is pr(Mded on
the plug case. The dex,ice should be rested on a
periodic basis by first pressing the rESrbutmn
and then the RESEYbutton while plugged into
the outer. If the rESTbutton does not trip
or if the RESEfbutmn will not stay engaged,
discontinue use of the air conditioner and
contact a qualified sen,ice technician.
Hmre the wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the outer
is properly grounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
m have it replaced _dth a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The air conditioner should always be plugged
into its own indlx,idual electrical outlet which
has a voltage rating that matches the rating
plate.
This prox,ides the best pertbrmance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical
Requirements section tot specific electrical
connection requirements.

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS--115-Vo/tmodelsonly
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord,
it is absolumly necessary that it be a UiAismd,
14-gauge, 3-wire grounding-type appliance
extension cord having a grounding-type plug
and outlet and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.

(_ ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
(_ ome models require a 115/120-voltAC,
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 is your 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.
IICAUTION:
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
Phillips head screwdriver
Flat-blade screwdriver
Pencil Ruler or tape measure
Level Scissors or knife
