Use Of Adapter Plugs; Use Of Extension Cords; Save These Instructions - GE 10 ACA Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS –
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord,
it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed,
14 gauge, 3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord having a grounding type plug
and outlet and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS –
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug.
However, if you must use an adapter, where
local codes permit, a temporary connection
may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong
wall outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter
available at most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned
with the larger slot in the wall outlet to
provide proper polarity in the connection
of the power cord.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

115-Volt models only
CAUTION:
DO NOT use an extension cord with any of
the 230/208 volt models.
115-Volt models only
When disconnecting the power cord from
the adapter, always hold the adapter in place
with one hand while pulling the power cord
plug with the other hand. If this is not done,
the adapter ground terminal is very likely to
break with repeated use.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO
NOT USE the air conditioner until a proper
ground has been established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall
outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance
unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated,
and the wall outlet is grounded through the house
wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
