NOTE The power supply cord with

this air conditioner contains a current detection device designed to reduce the risk of fire. Please refer to the section Operation of Current Device for details. In the event that the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorized repairman.

Power supply cord with 3-prong grounding plug and current detection device

Do not, under any circumstances, cut, remove, or bypass the grounding prong.

WARNING

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Avoid fire hazard or electric shock. Do not use an extension cord or an adaptor plug. Do not remove any prong from the power cord.

WARNING

Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen. This information can be found on the serial plate, which is located on the side of the cabinet and behind the grill. Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards. Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If the wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper receptacle. Ensure the receptacle is accessible after the unit installation. Do not run air conditioner without side protective cover in place. This could result in mechanical damage within the air conditioner.
