IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

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.

CAUTION:

DO NOT use an extension cord with any of
the 230/208 volt models.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS –

115-Volt models only

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.

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.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS –

115-Volt models only
