Preparing to install the air conditioner.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
NOTE TO INSTALLER: Leave these instructions
with the air conditioner after installation is
completed.
NOTE TO CONSUMER: Keep this Owner’s
Manual and Installation Instructions for future
use.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
For personal safety, this air conditioner must be
properly grounded.
It is important to have the wall outlet and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician if there is any
doubt as to whether a proper ground exists.
Follow National Electric Codes (NEC) and/or
local codes and ordinances.
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.
Before You Begin
Some models require 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.
