How to connect electricity
For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.
Electrical requirements
115-volt models require a 115/120-
volt a.c., 60 hz grounded outlet protected with fuse
or
circuit breaker.
The power cord on these models has a three-prong (grounding) plug that mates with a standard three-prong (grounding) wall outlet (Fig. 1) to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from these appliances.
PREFERRED , METHOD
Fig. 1
Where a standard two-prong wall 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
own single branch circui; supplying
230/208-volt a.c., protected with a 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 from overheating wires.

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,

BEFORE USE
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. 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 and that the current 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.

When you move the Ventilation Control to CLOSE, the vent door is closed and only the air inside the room will be circulated conditioned. Moving the control to OPEN opens the vent door, allowing a air to be exhausted from the room.

Note: When the Energy Saver Switch is at the SAVE position, changes in the sound level may be more noticeable than when it’s at the NORMAL position.
For nighttime operation
During the cooler evening hours, we recommend that you set the Selector Switch at LO COOL for quieter operation and the Thermostat Control at mid-range (5 or 6). Be sure the Ventilation Control is in the CLOSE position,

For extreme temperatures
For greatest economy and best performance, we suggest you set the Selector Switch at HI COOL in extremely hot weather.
