HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. Forpersonal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cot,1 of dlis appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (gTounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (g_mnding) _11 outlet u_ minimize the possibility ofelecuic she& hazard from this appliance.

Have tile wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified elecuician m make sure the outlet is pr_perly g_mn(led.

_qmre a 2-prong x_ll outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly gTounded 3-prong wall oudet.

The air conditioner shouM always be

plugged inu_ its own individual electrical

outlet which has a voltage rating that matches

the rating plate.

This provides dm best perfbmmnce and also

prevents overloading house wiring circuits

which couM cause a fire hazard fi_)m overheated wires.

See the Installation Insuuclkms, Electrical Requirements section for specific elecuical

connection requirements.

WARNING!

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS-115-Voltmodelsonly

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend _ CAUTION:

against the use of an extension cord.

However, if yon must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a U L-listed,

14 gauge, 3-wire g_mn(ling t}]-/e appliance extension cot,1 having a gTounding b_e plug and outlet and that tile elecuical rating of the co_d be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS-115-Voltmodelsonly

DO NOT use an extension cord with any of the 230/208 voltmodels.

Because of potential safety hazards under

certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an adapter plug.

However, ifyou must use an adapter, where local codes permit, a temporary connection may be made m a properly g_mnded 2-prong wall outlet by use of a UIAisted adapter

available at most local haidware stores.

The larger slot in tile adapter must be aligned with tile larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in tile connection

of tile power cold.

V_qmn disconnecting tile pox_r cord from

tile adapter, always hold tile adapter ill place

with one band while pulling file power cord

plug with tile other hand. If this is not done, tile adapter g_mnd terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

If file adapter gTound terminal breaks, DO

NOT USE tile air conditioner until a proper gTound has been established.
