The power cord of this appliance
is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug which mates with
a standard three-prong (grounding)
wall outlet (Fig. 1)to fiinimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.

Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against use
of an adapter plug. However, ifyou
stillelect to use an adapter, where
localcodes permit,a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION may be made to a
properly grounded two-prong wall
outlet by use of a UL listed adapter
(Fig. 2) available at most local
hardware stores.

R
useofextensionC(lrds
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
westrongly recommend against the
use of an extension cf~rd.ldowever.
ifyou stillelect to use an extension
cord, it is absolutely necessary that
it he a U!. listed 3-wire grounding
type appliance extension cord and
that the current car~ying 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.
I
Have the wall outlet and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
Where a standard two-prong wall
outlet isencountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly
grounded three-prong wall outlet.
The larger slot in the adapter
must be aligned with the larger slot
in the wall outlet 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. Y~u should have ;he circuit
checked by a qualified electrician
[o make sure the outlet isproperly
grounded.
When cliscoklnectingthe polver
cord from the a(lapterl always hold
the adapter with one hand. If this
is not done. the adapter ground
terminal is very likely to break with
repeated use.

Temperaturecontrol
When you turn TEMPERATURE
control to desired setting, thermostat willautomatically control the
temperature of the indoor air. The
higher the number selected, the
cooler the indoor air will be.
The Save Energy Range is a visual
reminder that you can conserve
energy by selecting a higher room
temperature but still keep the room
cool and lesshumid than outside.
When this control 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.

For greatest economy and best performance, we suggestyou always
set the SELECTOR at HIGH COOL

During the cooler evening ho~lrs,
it is recommended that you set

For ventilation
Whether controls are set for cooling or fan operation only, setting
the Air F.xchangercontrol at “open”
lets room air be exhausted to the
outside. This is helpful in removing
stale air, smoke or odors from ti--ie
room, and permits outdoor air to enter through normal openings in the
house. However, cooling effectiveness is reduced when this control
is set at “open;’ so we suggest you
don’t keep it there long–especially
in hot, humid weather.
