HOW TO CONNECTELECTRICITY
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY THIS APPLIANCE
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
The 11 5-volt models require a 115/120volt a.c., 60 Hz
grounded outlet protected with a 15-amptime delay
fuse or circuit breaker.
The power cord on these models has a threeprong
(grounding) plug that mates with a standard threeprong
(grounding) wall outlet (Fig. 1 )to minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard from these appliances.
Where a standard two
prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your
personal responsibility
and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly
grounded threeprong
wall outlet.
DO NOT,
UNDER
ANY
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND)
PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.
USE OF ADAPTER PLUG
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly
recommend
against use of an adapter plug.
However, if you still elect to use
an adapter, where local codes
permit, a temporary connection
may be made to a properly
grounded two-prong wall outlet
by use of a UL-listed adapter (Fig.
2) available at most local
hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must
be aligned with the larger slot in
the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the
power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter
ground terminal to wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and wall
outlet is grounded through house
wiring. You should have the circuit
checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, always
hold the adapter with one hand. If
this is not done, the adapter
ground terminal is very likely to
break with repeated use.

with the appliance.
The 230/208-volt models require their own single
branch circuit supplying 230/208-volt a.c., protected
with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker. This is
recommended for best pedormance and to prevent
overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a
possible fire hazard from overheating wires.
The power cord on these models has a 230/208-volt
perpendicular, tandem or large tandem-type plug that
mates respectively with a 230/208-volt perpendicular,
tandem or large tandem-type wall outlet. These types of
outlets are available at most hardware stores.

CIRCUIT BREAKER PROTECTION
Whether your air conditioner is a 115-volt or a 230/
208-volt unit, it is impotiant to have the wall outlet
and circuit checked by a qualified electrician if there
is any doubt as to whether a proper ground exists.

Should the adapter ground

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord.
However, if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely
necessary that it be a UL-listed
3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord and that the current
carrying rating of the cord in
amperes be equal to or greater than
the branch circuit size shown on the
rating nameplate of the appliance.
