the rating label, a silver-colored sticker generally located on the upper-right side of the cabinet.
• Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire hazards, proper grounding is
important. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong
grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.
• Your air conditioner must be connected to a properly
grounded wall receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to
use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay
fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper
receptacle.
• Ensure the receptacle is accessible aer the unit installation.

or hurricane.
 Hold the plug by the head of the power
plug when unplugging unit.
 Unplug the power cord when not using
the unit for extended periods of time.
