new power supply cord obtained from the manufacturer 
and not repaired. Do not use a cord that shows cracks 
or abrasion damage along its length or at either the 
plug or connector end. 

Ŷ

Turn the unit OFF and unplug your air conditioner 
before cleaning. 

Ŷ

For your safety…do not store or use combustible 

materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors or 
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

All air conditioners contain refrigerants, which under 
federal law must be removed prior to product disposal. 
If you are getting rid of an old product with refrigerants, 
check with the company handling disposal about what 
to do.

Ŷ

If the receptacle does not match the plug, the 
receptacle must be changed out by a qualified 
electrician.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

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.

See the Installation Instructions, 

Electrical 

Requirements 

section for specific electrical connection 

requirements.
