BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read these instructions completely
and carefully.
• IMPORTANT - Savethese
instructions for local inspector's use.
• IMPORTANT - Observeall
governing codes and ordinances.
• Note to Installer- Be sure to leave these
instructions with the Consumer.
• Note to Consumer- Keep these
instructions for future reference.
• Skill level - Installation of this appliance
requires basic mechanical skills.
• Completion time- Approximately 1 hour
• We recommend that two people install
this product.
• Proper installation is the responsibility
of the installer.
• Product failure due to improper installation
is not covered under the Warranty.
• You MUST use all supplied parts and use
proper installation procedures as described
in these instructions when installing this air
conditioner.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Some 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 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 forbest 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.

Pencil Ruler or tape measure
Level Scissors or knife
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 TEST button
and then the RESET button while plugged into
the outlet. If the TEST button does not trip or
if the RESET button will not stay engaged,
