Detection Device.
Operation of Current Device
The power cord contains a current device that senses damage to the power cord. To test your power cord, do the
following:
1. Plug in the Air Conditioner.
2. The power cord has TWO buttons on the 3-Prong Grounding Plug. Press the TEST button. You will notice a
click as the RESET button pops out.
3. Press the RESET button, and you will hear a click as the button engages.
4. The power cord is now supplying electricity to the unit. (On some products this is also indicated by a light on
the 3-Prong Grounding Plug).
NOTE:
• Do not use the power cord to turn the unit on or off.
• Always make sure the RESET button is pushed in for correct operation.
• The power cord must be replaced if it fails to reset when either the TEST button is pushed,
or it cannot be reset. Please contact Customer Service.
• If the power cord is damaged, then it cannot be repaired. It MUST be replaced with a new power cord.
Please contact Customer Service.
NOTE:
If you turn off the air conditioner, wait at least three MINUTES before turning it back on. This
prevents the unit from blowing a fuse or tripping a circuit breaker.
•
The power cord is equipped with a 3-Prong Grounding Plug which
can only be used with a standard 3-prong wall outlet to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazard. Where a 2-prong outlet is
encountered, it is your responsibility to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
• Do not use a power cord that shows damage or cracks along the
length or at the connector. A damaged power cord should be replaced
with a new cord obtained from the manufacturer. Please contact
Customer Service for replacement options.
• Do not modify power cord length or share an outlet with another
appliance. This may cause electric shock or fire.
• Always use a dedicated power circuit. The voltage on the outlet
should match the voltage rating on the rating plate.
• Do not use the outlet if it is loose or damaged. It may cause electric
shock.
• Never use an extension cord, surge protector, or multi-outlet adapter
with this unit.
