the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

DONOT use an adapter plug with thisappliance.

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 intermpmr dex,ice. A test and reset button is prox,ided on the plug case. The dex,ice should be tested on a periodic basis by first pressing the rESrbutton

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly _ounded.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encounmred,

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 indix,idual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

This prox,ides the best performance and also prevents overloading house xdring circuits

which could cause a fire hazard from overheated xdres.

See the Installation Instructions, Electrical Requirements section fin specific electrical

connection requirements.

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolumly necessa U that it be a UL-listed, 14 gauge, 3:wire grounding type appliance extension cord ha\,ing a _ounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 195 vohs.
