Electrical Safety
Everest units come as 115 volts, 60 hertz, single
phase and equipped with a NEMA 5-15P.
A 15 amp breaker must be used for units that
come with a NEMA 5-15P plug. A 20 amp breaker
must be used for units that come with a NEMA
5-20P plug.
The ground prong must not be removed to reduce
the risk of electric shock and related hazards.
If the grounding pin is missing, the cord must
be removed from use. If the outlet is a standard
2-prong outlet, it must be replaced with the
properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet. Only a
qualified electrician may install the correct
power source.
To guarantee electrical safety, the wall outlet and
circuit must be checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure it is properly grounded.
Remove debris from the power plug prongs
with a soft cloth or brush before connecting it
to an outlet.
Assign the unit to a dedicated, undamaged
electrical circuit with a voltage rating that
matches the data plate. Check the incoming
voltage with a multi-meter. This avoids the
overloading and overheating of circuit wires which
may lead to a fire.
Do not use extension cords, adapter plugs or
other third party electrical connections. Everest
is not responsible for issues resulting from
improper electrical connections, electrical
power failures and voltage fluctuations.
Everest does not recommend the use of
generators in conjunction with the unit due
to voltage fluctuations that may compromise
electrical components.
Turn off the unit using the power button before
unplugging. Wait at least 5 minutes before
re-plugging to prevent damage to the compressor.
Do not unplug the unit by tugging on the power
cord. Grip the plug and pull it securely out of
the outlet.
Prevent damage to the power cord by providing
sufficient clearance around and under the unit.
Do not use a power cord that shows cracks or
exposed wires. Power cords that have been
severely worn or damaged must be replaced
with original manufacturer parts and only by
an authorized technician.
