4. Electrical Safety
This section applies to all Everest products. Basic safety precautions must be observed when using
electrical appliances in addition to the following. Warranty is void if these guidelines are not met.
Everest units come as 115 volts, 60 hertz, single
phase.
Everest units in this family are equipped with a NEMA
5-15P. A 15 amp breaker must be used for units that
come with a NEMA 5-15P plug.
115/60/1
NEMA 5-15R
The ground prong must not be removed to reduce
the risk of electric shock and related hazards. If the
grounding pin is missing, the cord must be removed
from use. If the outlet is a standard 2-prong outlet, it
must be replaced with the properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet. Only a qualified electrician may install the
correct power source.
To guarantee electrical safety, the wall outlet and
circuit must be checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure it is properly grounded.
Remove debris from the power plug prongs using a
soft cloth or brush before connecting it to an outlet.
Assign the unit to a dedicated, undamaged electrical
circuit with a voltage rating that matches the data
plate. Check the incoming voltage with a multi-meter.
This avoids the overloading and overheating of circuit
wires which may lead to a fire.
Do not use extension cords, adapter plugs or
other third party electrical connections. Everest is
not responsible for issues resulting from improper
electrical connections, electrical power failures and
voltage fluctuations.

Everest does not recommend the use of generators in
conjunction with the unit due to voltage fluctuations
that may compromise electrical components.
Turn off the unit using the power button before
unplugging. Wait at least 5 minutes before re-
plugging to prevent damage to the compressor.
Do not unplug the unit by tugging on the power cord.
Grip the plug and pull it securely out of the outlet.
Prevent damage to the power cord by providing
sufficient clearance around and under the unit.
Do not use a power cord that shows cracks or
exposed wires. Power cords that have been severely
worn or damaged must be replaced with original
manufacturer parts and only by an authorized
technician.
