Room Air Conditioner
Power Cord with Arc Detection Device
The power cord supplied with this air conditioner is
equipped with an Arc Detection Device designed to shut
off power to the unit when it senses an arc fault condition.
An arc fault is an unintentional electrical discharge that
occurs when electrical products or wires are damaged,
aged, or improperly used. An arc fault can be potentially
hazardous if left undetected.
WARNING
• Do not remove or modify this plug
• Do not use as an on/off switch
• Do not use outdoors
• Do not push furniture against or place furniture on the
electrical cord. This can trip the test switch and/or damage
the cord and become a potential condition for arcing
• Do not attempt to repair the cord. If the cord requires
replacement, call an authorized servicer.
• The Arc Detection Device is not a Ground Fault
Interrupter and should not be used as such
• The Arc Detection Device contains an electronic circuit
board and should not be submerged or exposed to water
spray

Electrical Shock Hazard
• Plug unit only into a grounded electrical
outlet.
• Do not use an extension cord or plug adapter with this
unit.
• Do not operate unit with decorative front or filter
removed.
• Failure to follow these precautions could result in
electrical shock, fire or personal injury.
• If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 115 volts
and greater than 7.5 amps, it must have its own fuse or
circuit breaker, and no other device or unit should be
operated on that fuse or circuit breaker.
• If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 230
volts, it must have its own fuse or circuit breaker, and no
other device or unit should be operated on that fuse or
circuit breaker.
• We recommend that a qualified electrician install unit in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local
codes and ordinances.
• Use copper conductors of correct wire gauge and
protector size only.
• Do not alter cord or plug end. Do not remove warning
label on cord.

Important Grounding Requirements

• Air conditioner has a three-prong grounding plug on the
power supply cord, which must be plugged into a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle for your
protection against possible shock hazard. For models up
to and including 7.5 amperes, use a grounding type wall
receptacle to match the cord plug.
• For models above 7.5 amperes use a single outlet
grounding type wall receptacle to match the cord plug.
