IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

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.
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.

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.
