WARNING USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
RISK OF FIRE. Could cause serious injury or death.
• DO NOT use an extension cord with this Window Air
Conditioner.
• DO NOT use surge protectors or multi-outlet adaptors

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
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.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong
(grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard from this appliance.
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åø÷÷òñäñç÷ëèñ÷ëèRESETåø÷÷òñúëìïèóïøêêèç
into the outlet. If the TESTåø÷÷òñçòèöñò÷÷õìóòõìé÷ëè

conditioner and contact a qualified service technician.
Have 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 encountered, it is your
personal responsibility 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 outlet which has a voltage rating that
matches the rating plate.
This provides the best performance 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.
