what to do.
HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Forpersonal safe_ this appliance must be
properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet m minimize tim possil)ilitv of electric
shock hazard flom this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
$&]]ere a 9-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsil)ilitv 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 antler
which has a xoltage rating that matches the
rating plate.
This provides the best perfommnce and
also prexents oxerloading house wiring
circuits which could cause a fire hazard
flom overheated wires.

it is absolutely necessary that it be a UiAismd,
14 gauge, 3-wire grounding b'pe appliance
extension cord having a grounding type plug
and outlet and flint fl)e electrical rating of rite
cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 195 x_lts.
CAUTION:
DO NOT use an extension cord with any ofthe
230/208 voltmodels.
USEOFADAPTERPLUGS--115-Voltmodelsonly
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an adapter plug.
Howex>[; if you must/lse an adapte[; where
local codes permit, a temporary connection
may be made m a properly grounded 9-prong
wall outlet by use of a UiAisted adaptor
available at most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in fl_e adapter must be
aligned with the larger slot in file wall outlet
to provide proper polarity in the connection
of the power cord.

(_) ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Some models require a 115/120-volt a.c.,
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 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.
