ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
These models require a 115/120-volt AC,
60-Hz grounded outlet protected with a
15-amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the possibility
of electric shock hazard. If the wall outlet you plan to
use is only a 2-prong outlet, it is your responsibility to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
outlet.
CAUTION
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the power cord.
Do not change the plug on the power cord of this air
conditioner.
Aluminum house wiring may present special
problems—consult a qualified electrician.
Power cord includes a current interrupter device. A
test and reset button is provided on the plug case. The
device should be tested on a periodic basis by first
pressing the TEST button and then the RESET button
while plugged into the outlet. If the TEST button does
not trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged,
discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a
qualified service technician.
