Installation

Air Conditioner

Instructions

Some models require 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.

Some models require 230/208-volt a.c.,
protected with a time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. These models should be installed
on their own single branch circuit for
best performance and to prevent
overloading house or apartment wiring
circuits, which could cause a possible
fire hazard from overheating wires.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED

Phillips head screwdriver

Ruler or tape measure

Pencil

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.
