HOW
FOR PERSONAL
THIS APPLIANCE
The 1
models require a
60
outlet protected with a
delay
fuse or circuit breaker.
The power cord on these models has a
(grounding) plug that mates with a standard
(grounding) wall outlet (Fig. 1
minimize the possibility
of electric shock hazard from these appliances.
Where a standard
prong wall outlet is
encountered, it is your
personal responsibility
and obligation to have it
replaced with a properly
grounded
wall outlet.
INSURE PROPER
GROUND EXISTS
Fig.
BEFORE USE
The
models
require their own single
branch circuit supplying
protected
with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker. This is
recommended for best performance and to prevent
overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a
possible fire hazard from overheating wires.
The power cord on these models has a
perpendicular, tandem or large tandem-type plug that
mates respectively with a
perpendicular,
tandem or large tandem-type wall outlet These types
of outlets are available at most hardware stores.
Whether your air conditioner is a 1
or a 230/
it is
to have the wall outlet
and circuit checked by a
electrician if there
is
as to whether a proper ground exists.
USE OF ADAPTER PLUG
Because of potential safety
hazards under
conditions,
we strongly recommend
against use of an
plug.
However, if you still elect to use
an adapter, where local codes
permit, a temporary connection
may be made to a properly
grounded
wall outlet
by use of a
adapter
(Fig. 2) available at most
hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must
be aligned with the larger slot in
the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the
power cord.
Attaching the adapter
ground terminal to wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the
appliance 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
grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter,
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
DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground
has again been established.
USE
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we
recommend against
the use of an extension cord.
However, if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is
it be a
grounding type appliance
extension cord and that the current
carrying rating of the cord in
amperes be equal to or greater than
the branch circuit size shown on the
rating nameplate of the appliance.
