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 a

listed adapter (Fig. 2) available
most local hardware stores.

;utlet

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

Should the adapter ground
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 listed
3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord
carrying rating of the cord in
amperes be equal to or greater
than the branch circuit size
shown on the rating nameplate
of the appliance.
