modelsonly
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord,
it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed,
14 gauge, 3-wire gwounding type appliance
extension cord having a grounding type plug
and outlet and that tile electrical rating of tile
cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.
CAUtiON:
DO NOT use an extension cord with any of the
230/208 volt models.
USEOF ADAPTER P LUGS-715-Volt
modelsonly
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an adapter plug.
However, if you must use an adapter, where
local codes permit, a temporary connection may
be made m a properly gq'ounded 2-prong wall
outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at
most local hardware stores.
The lalger slot in the adapter must be aligned
with tile larger slot in tile wall outlet m provide
proper polarity in the connection of tile power
cord.
When disconnecting tile power cord fl'om the
adapter, always hold the adapter in place with
one hand while pulling the power cord plug
with the other hand. If this is not done, the
adapter ,ground teirninal is very likely m break
with repeated use.
If tile adapter gq'ound terminal breaks,
DO NOT USE tile air conditioner until a
proper ,ground has been established.
Attaching the adapterground terminal to a wall outlet
cover screw doesnot ground the applianceunless the
cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall
outlet is groundedthrough the housewiring. Youshould
have the circuit checkedby a qualified electricianto
make sure the outlet is properlygrounded
