Electrical Grounding Instructions

This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug
for protection against possible shock hazards. If a two-prong
wall receptacle is encountered, the customer is required to
contact a qualified electrician and have the two-prong wall
receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three-prong
wall receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical
Code.
Room air conditioners are designed to operate according to
requirements on the nameplate and as shown in Table 1.
Fuse or circuit breaker ratings must be according to the fuse
instruction label and as shown in Table 1. Do not plug
models marked " Use on Single Outlet Circuit Only" into a
circuit with another appliance or light fixture.
WARNING
To avoid death, personal injury or property
damage due to electrical shock, this unit
must be grounded. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the round
grounding prong from the plug. Do not use
a two-prong adapter.
WARNING
To avoid death, personal injury or property
damage due to electrical shock, do not use
an extension cord. Do not pinch the power

Safety Features

This room air conditioner is equipped with an electronic
control to improve comfort and ensure reliability.

Compressor Lockout

To extend the life of the compressor a three minute time
delay will occur when:
• Electrical power is first supplied to the unit
• The thermostat is turned down immediately after the
compressor stops running.
• The Fan Control is quickly turned from FAN ONLY to
COOLING mode or vice versa.

Low Voltage Protection

This unit is equipped with " brownout" protection. In case
of an extreme brownout, the Amana control will interrupt
power to the unit to prevent compressor failure. When the
line voltage reaches at least 100 VAC, the control will re-
energize your unit.
Note: A compressor lockout will occur after the unit is re-
energized.
