IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord. 

However, if you must use an extension cord, 

it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed,

14 gauge, 3-wire grounding type appliance

extension cord having a grounding type plug

and outlet and that the electrical rating of the

cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts. 

CAUTION:

DO NOT use an extension cord with any of 
the 230/208 volt models.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS –

115-Volt models only

Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the use
of an adapter plug. 

However, if you must use an adapter, where

local codes permit, a 

temporary connection 

may

be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall

outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at

most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned

with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide

proper polarity in the connection of the power

cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from the

adapter, always hold the adapter in place with

one hand while pulling the power cord plug

with the other hand. If this is not done, the

adapter ground terminal is very likely to break

with repeated use.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, 

DO NOT

USE

the air conditioner until a proper ground

has been established.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the
cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall
outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should
have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to
make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS –

115-Volt models only

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.
