Recommended grounding method
WARNING
This air conditioner must be grounded. This air conditioner is
equipped with a power supply cord having a grounded 3 prong
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating, grounded 3 prong outlet, grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet
is not available, it is the customer's responsibility to have a
properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrical
installer.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
It is the customer's responsibility:
I
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
I
To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 -
latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:
