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 from 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 TESTbutton
and then the RESETbutton. If the TESTbutton
does not trip or if the RESETbutton will not
stay engaged, discontinue use of the air
conditioner and contact a qualified ser\,ice
mchnician.
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 individual electrical
outlet which has a voltage rating that matches
the rating plate.
This prox,ides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house xdring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated Mres.
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical
Requirements section for specific electrical
connection requirements.
