SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
