D. Electrical Connection
WARNING
1. Electrical connection must meet national, state, and local electrical code
requirements. Failure to meet these code requirements could result in death,
electric shock, serious injury, fire, or severe damage to equipment.
2. This unit requires an independent power supply. See the nameplate for proper
voltage and breaker/fuse size. Failure to use a proper breaker or fuse can
result in a tripped breaker, blown fuse, or damage to existing wiring. This
could lead to heat generation or fire.
3.
THIS UNIT MUST BE GROUNDED:
This unit is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding plug to reduce the risk of potential shock hazards. It must be
plugged into a properly grounded, independent wall outlet. If the outlet is a
2-prong outlet, it is your personal responsibility to have a qualified electrician
replace it with a properly grounded, independent 3-prong wall outlet. Do not
remove the ground prong from the power cord and do not use an adapter
plug. Failure to follow these instructions may result in death, electric shock, or
fire.
4. Do not use an extension cord.
5. Make sure the power switch is in the "OFF" position before plugging in or
unplugging the unit to reduce the risk of electric shock. The power switch is
located behind the front panel. See Fig. 8 in "I.E. Accessing the Controls."
6. Do not use a unit with a damaged power cord. The power cord should not be
altered, jerked, bundled, weighed down, pinched, or tangled. Such actions
could result in electric shock or fire. To unplug the unit, be sure to pull the
plug, not the cord, and do not jerk the cord.
7. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the plug or power switch with
damp hands.
8. The GREEN ground wire in the factory-installed power cord is connected to a
screw on the evaporator case. If it becomes necessary to remove or replace
the power cord, be sure to connect the power cord's ground wire.
• Usually an electrical permit and services of a licensed electrician are required.
• The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±10 percent of the nameplate rating.
• This unit should be disassembled or repaired only by a qualified service technician to
reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
