SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which
mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding)
wall outlet to minimize the possibility of
electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Power cord may include 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.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure the
outlet is properly grounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
The air conditioner should always be plugged
into its own individual electrical outlet which
has a voltage rating that matches the rating
plate.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical
Requirements section for specific electrical
connection requirements.
