IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS–115-Volt models only
SafeyIructions
Because of potential safety hazards under
CAUTION:
DO NOT use an extension cord with any of
the 230/208 volt models.
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord,
it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed,
14 gauge, 3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord having a grounding type plug
and outlet and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.
OpeagIructions
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS –115-Volt models only
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug.
When disconnecting the power cord from
the adapter, always hold the adapter in place
with one hand while pulling the power cord
plug with the other hand. If this is not done,
the adapter ground terminal is very likely to
break with repeated use.
However, if you must use an adapter, where
local codes permit, a temporary connection
may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong
wall outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter
available at most local hardware stores.
rdCleaing
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO
NOT USE the air conditioner until a proper
ground has been established.
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 a wall
outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance
unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated,
and the wall outlet is grounded through the house
wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.

Before You Begin
SafeyIructions
NOTE TO INSTALLER: Leave these instructions
with the air conditioner after installation is
completed.
CAUTION:
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
NOTE TO CONSUMER: Keep this Owner’s
Manual and Installation Instructions for future
use.
Do not change the plug on the power cord of this
air conditioner.
Aluminum house wiring may present special
problems—consult a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
For personal safety, this air conditioner must be
properly grounded.
OpeagIructions
It is important to have the wall outlet and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician if there is any
doubt as to whether a proper ground exists.
Follow National Electric Codes (NEC) and/or
local codes and ordinances.
Electrical Requirements
rdCleaing
Some models require 115/120-volt a.c.,
60 Hz grounded outlet protected with
a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker.
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.
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.
