1. Air conditioner must be connected to proper electrical outlet with
the correct electrical outlet with the correct electrical supply.
2. Proper grounding must be ensured to reduce the risk of shock and
fire. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG. If you do

certified electrician install the proper receptacle. The wall receptacle
MUST be properly grounded.
3. Do not operate air conditioner if power cord is frayed or otherwise
damaged. Avoid using it if there are any cracks or abrasion damage
along the length, plug connector or if the unit malfunctions or is

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The electrical requirements are a 115 volt 60 Hz, AC only, 15 amp. It is
recommended that a separate circuit serving only the product be provided. The
product is equipped with a 3-wire cord having a 3-prong grounding plug. It must
be plugged into a wall receptacle that is properly installed and grounded.
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. The cord provided with this appliance is equipped with a
grounding wire and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded.
Avoid the use of three prong adapters or cutting o the third grounding prong
in order to accommodate a two prong outlet. This is a dangerous practice since
it provides no eective grounding for the air conditioner and may result in shock
hazard.
Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if:
1) The grounding instructions are not completely understood.
2) You are unsure that the appliance is properly grounded.
3) You have any questions about the grounding or electrical instructions.
WARNING
Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock.

POWER SUPPLY CORD
1. Avoid the use of an extension cord because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions. Have a qualified electrician or serviceman to install an
outlet near the appliance.
2. If it is absolutely necessary to use longer cord sets or an extension cord,
extreme care must be exercised.
a) Use only a grounding type 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the
appliance.
b) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord must equal
to or greater than the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table
top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
NOTE: Neither BLACK+DECKER nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the
product or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection
procedures.

LCDI POWER CORD AND PLUG
This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and
Interruption) power cord that is required by UL. This power supply cord contains
state-of-the-art electronics that sense leakage current. If the cord is damaged and
leakage occurs, power will be disconnected from the unit.
The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if the plug is
functioning properly.
To test the plug:
1. Plug power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Press RESET (on some units a green light will turn on).
3. Press the TEST button, the circuit should trip and cut all power to the air
conditioner (on some units a green light may turn o).
4. Press the RESET button for use. You will hear a click and the A/C is not ready for
use.
NOTES:
• The RESET button must be engaged for proper use.
• The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to trip when the TEST button is
pressed and the unit fails to reset.
• Do not use the power supply cord as an ON/OFF switch. The power supply cord
is designed as a protective device.
• A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord.
• The power supply cord contains new user serviceable parts. Opening the
tamper-resistant case voids all warranty and performance claims.
