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 .
