Grounding Instructions

NOTE: Do not under any circumstances cut or remove
grounding prong from the plug or bend power
prongs to fit receptacle other than one for the
equipment. Such abuse of the plug can result in
electrical shock or overheating.
For your personal safety, this appliance must be
grounded. This air conditioner includes a power supply
cord with a three-prong grounding plug. To minimize
possible electrical shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating three-prong grounding wall
receptacle; and grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70-latest version)
and all local codes and ordinances. If a mating
three-prong grounding-type wall receptacle is not
available, it is the responsibility of the consumer to have
a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle installed
by a qualified electrician.
If codes permit, and a separate grounding wire is used; it
is recommended that a qualified electrician determine
that the grounding path is adequate and not interrupted
by plastic, non-metallic gaskets, or other insulating
materials.
Do not use an extension cord. If product power cord is
too short, have a qualified electrician install an
appropriate receptacle.
