 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.
