Preparing to install the air conditioner.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

NOTE TO INSTALLER:

Leave these instructions with

the air conditioner after installation is completed.

NOTE TO CONSUMER: 

Keep this Owner’s Manual

and Installation Instructions for future use.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

For personal safety, this air conditioner must be
properly grounded.

It is important to have the wall outlet and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician if there is any
doubt as to whether a proper ground exists.

Follow National Electric Codes (NEC) and/or local
codes and ordinances.

CAUTION:

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.

Do not change the plug on the power cord
of this air conditioner.

Aluminum house wiring may present
special problems—consult a qualified
electrician.

Before You Begin

This model requires a 115/120-volt a.c.,
60 Hz grounded outlet protected with
a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.

The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the
possibility of electric shock hazard. If the wall outlet
you plan to use is only a 2-prong outlet, it is your
responsibility to have it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
