recommended. However, if an
extension cord is required to reach

the nearest wall receptacle, use only
a UL-listed, 3-wire, grounded, 14
gauge, 15A, 125V appliance exten-

sion cord.

FORPROPERGROUNDING:

1 Screw the adapter to the outlet,

using the outlet cover screw.

2 Ground the outlet throughthe house

wMng.

When disconnecting the power

cord from the adapter, hold the
adapter close to the outlet while

pulling the plug out. If this is not
done, the grounding connector is
likely to break with repeated use.

If the grounding connector breaks,
DO NOT USE the air conditioner

until a proper ground has again
been made.

This is a temporary method.
UL-listed adapters are avail-

able at most hardware stores.

Because most 2-prong outlets are
not grounded, we strongly advise

against using an adapter plug.
However, a tempora D, connection
may be made where local codes
permit and if the 2-prong wall out-

let is properly grounded.
When you plug the adapter in,

make sure the larger prong goes
into the larger slot to provide the

proper polarity, for the power cord.
