Operation of Safety Plug
Your cool-only window air conditioner is supplied with a Leakage-Current
Detection and Interruption (LCDI) safety plug. This device provides protection to
reduce the risk of fire due to arcing faults in the power supply cord. Before using
your window air conditioner, follow the instructions below to ensure that the LCDI
plug is working properly:
1. Plug the power cord to a grounded outlet.
2. Press the TEST button on the LCDI plug. This should trip the plug and cut the
power to the air conditioner. If the plug does not trip and you are able to turn on
the unit, please contact EdgeStar support.
DO NOT USE YOUR COOL–ONLY WINDOW AIR CONDITIONER IF THE
TEST FAILS.
3. Press the RESET button to start using your air conditioner.
NOTES:
Always make sure the “Reset” button is pushed in for proper
operation.
The power supply cord with LCDI plug must be replaced if it fails to
reset.
Do not use the TEST and RESET buttons as an ON/OFF switch.
Electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste.
Please contact your local recycling center for more information on how to
recycle electronic waste.
