HOWTOCONNECT ELECTRICITY
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard flom this appliance.
Power cord includes a current intermpmr
dex,ice. A test and reset button is prox,ided on
the plug case. The dex,ice should be tested on a
periodic basis by first pressing the rESrbutton
and then the RESErbutton while plugged into
the outlet. If the rESrbutton does not trip
or if the RESErbutmn will not stay engaged,
discontinue use of the air conditioner and
contact a qualified ser\,ice technician.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly _ounded.
Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encounmred,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation
to have it replaced with a properly grounded
3-prong wall outlet.
The air conditioner should always be plugged
into its own indix,idual electrical outlet which
has a voltage rating that matches the rating
plate.
This prox,ides the best perfk_rmance and also
prevents overloading house xdring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard flom
overheated xdres.
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical
Requirements section f_r specific electrical
connection requirements.
