SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock.
Can cause injury or death. This appliance
must be properly grounded. 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.
„  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.
„ 
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
„  Power cord may include a current interrupter
device. A test and reset button is provided
on the plug case. The device should be
tested on a periodic basis by first pressing
the TEST button and then the RESET button.
If the TEST button does not trip or if the
RESET button will not stay engaged,
discontinue use of the air conditioner and
contact a qualified service technician.
„  Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and
obligation to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock. Can
cause injury or death.
„  The air conditioner should always be plugged
into its own individual electrical outlet which
has a voltage rating that matches the rating
plate. This provides
the best performance and also prevents
overloading house wiring circuits which
could cause a fire hazard from overheated
wires.
„  See the Installation Instructions, Electrical
Requirements section for specific electrical
connection requirements.
