The satisfactory operation of this air condition-
er is dependent upon it being installed in a wall
case, and used with an exterior grille, both
specifically designed for use with this unit.

Use

with an incorrect wall case or with an incorrect
grille may result in poor performance and
could cause damage to the unit. If you are not
sure if you have the correct wall case and the
rear grille please contact the company where
you purchased the unit.

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 Electrical Code (NEC) 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.

We recommend that

the 230/208-volt, 60 Hz

models

be installed on their own single branch

circuit supplying 230/208-volt a.c., protected
with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker.

20 Amp.

15Amp.

This is recommended for best performance and
to prevent overloading house or apartment
wiring circuits, which could cause a possible fire
hazard from overheating wires.

The 115-volt 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 possi-
bility 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.
