IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION

BEFORE USING

• This air conditioner must be
properly installed in accordance
with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
• Repair or replace immediately
all electric service cords that have
become frayed or otherwise
damaged.
Extension Cord 115V
Adapter Plug 115V
This is a temporary method
and is for 115-volt models
only. UL-listed adapters are
available at most hardware
stores.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
• Turn the mode control knob to OFF
and unplug your air conditioner
before making any repairs.
NOTE: We strongly recommend
that any servicing be performed by
a qualified individual.
If an extension cord is required to
reach the nearest wall receptacle,
use only a UL-listed, 3-wire,
grounded, 14 gauge, 15A, 125V
appliance extension cord.
Because most 2-prong outlets are
not grounded, we strongly advise
against using an adapter plug.
However, a temporary connection
may be made where local codes
permit and if the 2-prong wall out-
let is properly grounded.
When you plug the adapter in,
make sure the larger prong goes
into the larger slot to provide the
proper polarity for the power cord.
FOR PROPER GROUNDING:
1 Screw the adapter to the outlet,
using the outlet cover screw.
2 Ground the outlet through the house
wiring.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, hold the
adapter close to the outlet while
pulling the plug out. If this is not
done, the grounding connector is
likely to break with repeated use.
If the grounding connector breaks,
DO NOT USE the air conditioner
until a proper ground has again
been made.
