ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Some models require a 115/120-volt AC,
60-Hz grounded outlet protected with a
15-amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
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.
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.
Aluminium house wiring may present special
problems—consult a qualified electrician.
