For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

230/208-volt models require their

own

single

230/208-volt time delay fuse or circuit breaker. This is recommended for best performance and to prevent overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a possible fire hazard

Whether your air conditioner is a 115-volt or a 230/208-volt unit, it is important to have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician if there is any doubt as to whether a proper ground exists.

Use of adapter plug (115-volt models only)

Because of potential safety hazards

under certain conditions, we

strongly recommend against use of an adapter plug. However, if

you

still

elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall outlet by use of listed adapter (Fig. 2) available most local hardware stores.

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 the 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. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always

hold the adapter with one hand. this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

Should

terminal break, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

Use of extension cords

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we

strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.

However, if you still elect to use an

extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL wire grounding type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying amperes be equal to or greater than the branch circuit size shown on the rating nameplate of the appliance.

When you move the Ventilation Control to CLOSE, the vent door

to be exhausted from the room.

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.
