DONOT use an adapterplug with this appliance.
The power co_d of dfis appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet m minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard flom this appliance.
Power cord includes a cmTent inte[xupmr
device. A rest and reset button is provided on
the plug case. The device should be msmd on a
periodic basis by first pressing the TESTbutton

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Some models require a 115/120-volt a.c.,
60 Hz grounded outlet protected with a
15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the
possibility of electric shock hazard. If the wall
outlet you plan to use is only a 2-prong outlet,
it is your responsibility to have it replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Some models require 230/208-volt a.c.,
protected with a time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. These models should be installed
on their own single branch circuit for
best performance and to prevent
overloading house or apartment wiring
circuits, which could cause a possible
fire hazard from overheating wires.
Pencil
Level Scissors or knife
Power cord includes a current interrupter
device. A test and reset button is provided on
the plug case. The device should be tested on a
periodic basis by first pressing the TEST button
and then the RESET button, If the TEST button
does not trip or if the RESET button will not stay
engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner
and contact a qualified service technician.

Through-the-Wami mnstamiation mnstructions--OptionaJ
The case may be installed through-the-wall
in both existing and new construction.
Read completely, then follow step-by-step.
NOTE: Obtain all materials locally for
mounting the air conditioner through-
the-wall.
[]
IMPORTANT
Through-the-wall installation is not
appropriate if any of the side or top louvers
in the case will be obstructed by the wall.
All side and top louvers in the case must
project on the outdoor side of the wall.
The room side of the case must project
into the room far enough to maximize the
balance of the unit.
The case must be installed level from side-
to-side and with a slight tilt from front to
rear. Use a level; no more than a 1/2 bubble
will be the correct case slant to the outside.
[] IMPORTANT (cont.)
[] Secure with 14 wood screws anchored at
least an inch into the wall support structure.
NOTE: Drill pilot holes, if necessary, for
proper installation. If the frame is oversized,
use shims to prevent case distortion.
[] FINISH THE WALL OPENING
[] Caulk all four sides on the outdoor side of
the case to prevent moisture from getting
through to the interior wall. Use of flashing
(drip rail) will further prevent water from
dripping inside the wall and down the
outside of the building.

Lintel angle is required to support bricks or
