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.

  DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.

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.
Power cord includes 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 

while plugged into the outlet. 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.
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.
