Earthing Instructions

!
To avoid risk of electrical shock or property damage
due to overheating, do not under any circumstances
alter earthing plug. Do not bend or trim power
prongs on plug to make them fit a receptacle for
which they are not intended.
For your personal safety, air conditioner must be earthed.
This air conditioner includes a power supply cord with an
earthing plug. To minimize possible electrical shock
hazard, the power cord must only be plugged into a
matching earthing wall receptacle that complies with all
applicable codes and ordinances. If a matching earthing-
type wall receptacle is not available, it is the responsibility
of the consumer to have a properly earthed wall
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
If codes permit, and a separate earthing wire is used,
have a qualified electrician determine if earthing path is
adequate and uninterrupted by plastic, nonmetallic
gaskets, or other insulating (non conductive) materials.
Do not use an extension cord. If power cord supplied
with air conditioner is too short, have a qualified
electrician install an appropriate receptacle closer to unit.
Receptacle Wiring
Receptacle wiring should be 14 gauge, minimum. Use
copper wire only. It is the responsibility of the consumer
to provide proper and adequate receptacle wiring,
installed by a qualified electrician.
