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.

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.

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.
