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.

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.
