and pull straight out flora the receptacle.
Replace immediately all electric service
cords that have become flayed or othendse
damaged. A damaged power supply cord
must be replaced _dth a new power supply
cord obtained from the mamtfhcturer and
not repaired. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its len_h
or at either the plug or connector end.
}} ff the receptacle does not match tim plug,
the receptacle must be changed out by a
qualified electrician.
}}Turn the unit OFFand unplug your air
conditioner before making any repairs
or cleaning.
NOTE: Westronglyrecommendthatanyservicing
be performedbya qualified bdividual.
::_For your s_ety...do not store or use
combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the x,icinity
of this or any other appliance.
::_All air conditioners contain refiigerants,
which under federal law must be removed

check _dth the company handling disposal
about what to do.
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,
BO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
_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 rest and reset button is prox,ided on
the plug case. The dex,ice should be tested on a
periodic basis by first pressing the rESrbutmn
and then the RESETbutton while plugged into
the outlet, ff the rESTbutton does not trip
or if the RESErbutmn _dll not stay engaged,
discontinue use of the air conditioner and
contact a qualified ser_,ice technician.
Hmre the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encounmred,
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 in(fix_idualelectrical
outlet which has a voltage rating that matches
the rating plate.
This prox_ides the best perfbrmance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical
Requirements section for specific electrical
connection requirements.

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.

IMPORTANT
Through-the-wall installation is not
appropriate if any of the side or top louvers
in the case will be obstructed by the wail.
All side and top louvers in the case must
project on the outdoor side of the wall.
The room side of the case must project
into the room far enough to maximize the
balance of the unit.
The case must be installed level from side-
to-side and with a slight tilt from front to
rear. Use a level; no more than a 1/2 bubble
will be the correct case slant to the outside.
Lintel angle is required to support bricks or
blocks above opening.
Flashing is required and should extend the
length of the opening to ensure no inside
cavity leakage occurs.
Remove the air conditioner from the case.
For specific instruction, refer to the Window
Installation Instructions.
Make certain that a wall receptacle is
available close to the hole location or make
arrangements to install a receptacle.
?
[] Place the case in the wall opening and place
wood support strips between the case
bottom and the flashing on both sides of the
bottom rail.They should be the same height
as the bottom rail and the same length as
the wall opening.
