WARNING
To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to electrical
shock, grounding wires and wires colored like grounding
wires are NOT to be used as current carrying
conductors. The standard accepted color coding for
ground wires is green or green with a yellow stripe.
Electrical components such as the compressor and fan
motor are grounded through an individual wire attached
to the electrical component and to another part of the air
conditioner. Grounding wires should not be removed
from individual components while servicing, unless the
component is to be removed and replaced. It is
extremely important to replace all removed grounding
wires before completing service.
!
WARNING
To avoid risk of heat exposure, which may cause death
or severe illness, air conditioner must be monitored
when malfunctions or shuts down.
