How to connect

For personal
safety,
this appliance
mu;t
be
properly grounded.
Electrical requirements
115-volt models require a
115/120-
volt
a.c.,
60
hz
grounded outlet
protected with a 15 amp time delay
fuse or circuit breaker.
The power cord on these models has
a three-prong (grounding) plug that
mates with a standard three-prong
(grounding) wall outlet (Fig. 1) to
minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from these appliances.

BEFORE USE
Where a standard two-prong wall
outlet is encountered, it is your
personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with
a properly grounded three-prong
wall outlet.
DO
NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT

THE POWER CORD.
230/208-volt models require their
that mates respectively with a
230/208-volt perpendicular,
tandem or large tandem type
wall
outlet. These types of outlets are
available at most hardware stores.

Whether your air conditioner is
a 115-volt or a 230/208-volt unit,
it is important to have the wall
outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician if there is
any doubt as to whether a
proper ground exists.
Use of adapter plug
(115-volt models only)
~
own
single
branch circuit supplying
230/208-volt
a.c.,
protected with a
time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
This is recommended for best
performance and to prevent
overloading house wiring circuits,
which could cause a possible fire
hazard from
overheating
wires.
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
The power cord on these models
may be made to a properly grounded
has a 230/208-volt perpendicular, two-prong
wdl
outlet by use of a
UL
tandem or large tandem type plug
listed adapter (Fig. 2) available at
most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must
be
aligned
with the
lm~er
slot in the
wall
;utlet
to provide
~roper
polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: 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 likely 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 extension cords
Because of potential safety hazards
under certain conditions, we
strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord.
However, if you still elect to use an
extension cord, it is absolutely
necessary that it be a UL listed
3-
wire grounding type appliance
exten~ion
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.
