Preparing to install the air conditioner.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Before You Begin

NOTE TO INSTALLER: Leave these instructions
with the air conditioner after installation is
completed.
NOTE TO CONSUMER: Keep this Owner's
Manual and Installation Instructions for
future use.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
For personal safety, this air conditioner must
be properly grounded.
It is important to have the wall outlet and
circuit checked by a qualified electrician if
there is any doubt as to whether a proper
ground exists.
Follow National Electric Codes (NEC) and/or
local codes and ordinances.

Electrical Requirements

The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the
possibility of electric shock hazard. If the wall
outlet you plan to use is only a 2-prong outlet,
it is your responsibility to have it replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Tools You Will Need
Phillips-head screwdriver
Flat blade screwdriver
Ruler or tape measure
Scissors or knife
Some models require 115/120-volt
a.c., 60 Hz grounded outlet protected
with a 15-amp time delay fuse or
circuit breaker.
CAUTION:
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
Do not change the plug on the power cord of
this air conditioner.
Aluminum house wiring may present special
problems—consult a qualified electrician.
Some models require 230/208-volt
a.c., protected with a time delay fuse
or circuit breaker. These models
should be installed on their own single
branch circuit for best performance
and to prevent overloading house or
apartment wiring circuits, which could
cause a possible fire hazard from
overheating wires.
