Whether your air conditioner is
a 115-volt or a 230/208-volt unit,
it is important to have the wall

qualified electrician if there is
any doubt as to whether a

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter

unless cover screw is metal, and not
insulated, and wall outlet is
grounded through house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make
sure the outlet is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, always
hold the adapter with one hand.
If this is not done, the adapter
ground terminal is very likely
to break with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground
terminal break, DO NOT USE
the appliance until a proper
ground has again been
established.
