The power cord of thisappliance
is equipped with athree-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with
astandard three-prong (grounding)
walloutlet (Fig.1)to minimize the
possibilityof electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
useofadapterpll~g
(l15=voltunits)
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we stronglyrecommend against use
of an adapter plug. Isowever,‘tfyou
stillelect to use an adapter, where
local codespermit, aTEMPORARY
COmCT-ION maybe made to a
properly grounded two-prong wall
outlet by use of a~listed adapter
(Fig. 2) available at most local
hardware stores.
PREFERRED
METHOD

INSUREPROPER
GROUNDEXISTS
BEFOREUSE
Have the wall outlet and circuit
checked by aqualified electrician
to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
Where astandard two-prong wall
outlet isencountered, it isyour per-
sonal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with aproperly
grounded three-prong wall outlet.

FIRMCONNECTION
Fig. 2n\ BEFOREUSE
The larger slot in the adapter
must be aligned with the larger slot
in the walloutlet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the
power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching 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 aqualified electrician
to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
when disconnectingthepo%ver
cord from the adapter9always hold
the adapter with one hand. If this
is not done, the adapter ground
terminal isvery likely to break with
repeated use.
useofextensionCords
Because of potential safety
hazards ~~ndercertain conditions,
westrongly recomend against the
use of an extemion cord. However,
if you still elect to use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that
it be a~, listed 3-wiregrounding
type appliance extension cord and
that the current carlying rating of
the cord in amperes be equal to or
greater than the branch circuit size
shown on the rating name plate of
the appliance. Such extension cords
are obtainable through your local
service organization.

Temperaturecontrol
When you turn TEMPERATURE
control to desired setting, thermo-
stat will automatically control the
temperature of the indoor air. The
higher the ntlrnber selected, the
cooler the indoor air will be.
The Save Energy Range is avisual
reminder that you can conserve
energy by selecting ahigher room
temperature but stillkeep the room
cool and less humid than outside.
MrExchanger
When thiscontrol isset at “closed;’
only the air inside the room can be
circulated and conditioned. When
it’sin the “open” position, some
indoor air can be exhausted from
the room.

Whether controls are set for cool-
ing or fan operation only,setting
the Air Exchanger control at “open”
lets room air be exhausted to the
outside. This ishelpful in removing
stale air, smoke or odors from the
room, and permits outdoor airto en-
ter through normal openings in the
house. However,cooling effective-
ness is reduced when this control
is set at “open;’ so we suggest you
don’tkeep it there long–especially
in hot, humid weather.
