Important Safety Information
Read all safety information before using
• This air conditioner must be
properly installed in accordance
with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
• Repair or replace immediately
all electric service cords that have
become frayed or otherwise
damaged.
Extension Cord
If an extension cord is required to
reach the nearest wall receptacle,
use only a UL Listed, 3-wire,
grounded, 14 gauge, 15A, 125V
appliance extension cord. For
models with nameplate ratings
greater than 12 amperes, do not
use an extension cord.
• Turn the mode control knob
to
OFF
and unplug your air
conditioner before making any
repairs.
NOTE:
that any servicing be performed by
a qualified individual.
We strongly recommend
Adapter Plug
Because most 2-prong outlets are
not grounded, we strongly advise
against using an adapter plug.
However, a temporary connection
may be made where local codes
permit and if the 2-prong wall outlet is properly grounded.
This is a temporary method.
UL-listed adapters are available at most hardware stores.
When you plug the adapter in,
make sure the larger prong goes
into the larger slot to provide the
proper polarity for the power cord.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
FOR PROPER GROUNDING:
1 Screw the adapter to the outlet,
using the outlet cover screw.
2 Ground the outlet through the house
wiring.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, hold the
adapter close to the outlet while
pulling the plug out. If this is not
done, the grounding connector is
likely to break with repeated use.
If the grounding connector breaks,
DO NOT USE
until a proper ground has again
been made.
