SAVE ENERGY RANGE
The save energy range allows you to conserveenergy by selecting
a higher room temperature.
The rotary control marked VENT! LATE is the vent door control.
When in the closed position only the air inside the room can be
circulated and conditioned. When the control is in the open position someoutside air is brought into the room.
The slide switch marked ENERGY SAVER controls the fan operation. With the ENERGY SAVER in the NORM position the fan
will continuously circulate room air. In the SAVE position the fan
will automatically cycle on and off with the compressorto provide
the most economical operation.

Because of potentiai safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an adapter plug. However,if you stiii elect
to use an adapter, where iocal codes permit, a
TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a
properiy grounded two-prong wali receptacle by
the use of a UL listed adapter which is available
at most local hardware stores (Fig. 2). The larger

slot in the adapter must be alignec~ with the larger slot in the receptacle
to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: .Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover
screw does not ground the appliance unless the cctier screw is metal, and not
insulated, dnd the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring. The
customer should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make
sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the powercord 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. Shou Id this happen, DO NOT USE the a~~liance
until a proper ground hasagain been established.
B. USAGE SITUATIONS WHERE APPLIANCE’S POWER CORD WiLL BE
DiSCONNECTED FREQUENTLY.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations becausefrequent disconnecting
of the power cord places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual
failure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer shouid have the twoprong wali receptacle repiaced with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by
a quaiified electrician befdre using the appiiance.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potentiai safety hazards under certain conditions we strongiy recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still eiect to
use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL listed 3-wire
grounding type appiiance extension cord and the current carrying rating of
the cord in amperes be equai to or greater than the branch circuit size shown
on the rating nameplate of this appliance. Such extension cords are obtainable
through your iocal service organization.
