• This unit requires a three-wire, single-phase, 60 hertz, AC only electrical supply.
• Receptacle wire must be at least as large as size shown on electrical chart.
• For your personal safety, this appliance must be grounded. This appliance has a power supply cord with a
3-prong grounding plug.
PROPER HOUSE WIRING
• Follow all of the enclosed instructions carefully for trouble-free performance and lowest operating costs.
• USE ONLY TIME-DELAY FUSE {or circuit breaker) for safe use and to help prevent needless blowing of
fuses.
• PROPER SIZE OF HOUSEWIRING is needed for good voltage and to keep from overloading circuit. See
data on reverse side. Avoid long lengths of housewiring that can cause the voltage to drop below the
voltage shown on the nameplate.
• It is best that NO OTHER APPLIANCE or devices are on the same fused circuit to which this unit is
connected. A blown fuse can result from wiring that is carrying more electrical current than it can safety
handle.
DANGER: DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
The power cord with the air conditioner is the best size for safe and efficient use of your air conditioner. Use
of an extension cord may cause overheating, energy loss, and blown fuses or circuit breakers.
UNLESS THE PRODUCT IS GROUNDED PROPERLY, YOU ARE NOT PROTECTED AGAINST SEVERE
OR LETHAL SHOCK IN THE EVENT OF A SHORT CIRCUIT OF AN ELECTRICAL PART OR
THE WIRING OF THE AIR CONDITIONER.
