O ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
(_ Some models require a 115/120-volt a.c.,
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.
Some models require 230/208-volt a.c.,
protected with a time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. These models should be installed
on their own single branch circuit
for best performance and to prevent
overloading house or apartment wiring
circuits, which could cause a possible fire
hazard from overheating wires.
-&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.
