The standard accepted color coding for earthing
wires is green or green with a yellow stripe. These
earthing wires are NOT to be used as current
carrying conductors. Electrical components such as
the compressor and fan motor are earthed through
an individual wire attached to the electrical
component and to another part of the air conditioner.
Earthing wires should not be removed from
individual components while servicing, unless the
component is to be removed and replaced. It is
extremely important to replace all removed earthing
wires before completing service.
!
To avoid death or illness from excessive heat, do not
use this room air conditioner as an unattended
cooling or life support device for persons or animals
unable to react to its failure. Failure of a room air
conditioner may result in extreme heat in the area it
is intended to cool. Extreme heat can cause heat
related illness or death to persons or animals.
