Preferred grounding method

Temporary grounding
Make sure that a proper
ground exists before use.
Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly discourage the use of an
adapter plug. If an adapter plug must be used for a temporary
connection, use only a UL-listed adapter with a minimum capacity of
110-120V~60Hz, 10A, and 1150W. Make sure that the large slot of the
adapter is aligned with the large slot in the outlet.
14,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner
To prevent damage to the adapter’s ground terminal, hold the adapter in
place while plugging or unplugging the air conditioner.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw
does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal and not
insulated and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.
Frequent connection and disconnection can damage the ground terminal
on the adapter. Never use a broken or damaged adapter.
