ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS 

 

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 a.c., 
                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. 

 

 

 

 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
        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. 

 

 

 

 
TOOLS YOU WILL NEED 

 

 

 

 

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. 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.
