Installation
Air Conditioner
Instructions
Some models require a 115/120-volt AC,
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 AC,
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
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.
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.
