Before You Begin

Operating Instructions

NOTE TO INSTALLER: Leave these instructions with the air conditioner after installation is completed.

NOTE TO CONSUMER: Keep this Owner’s Manual and Installation Instructions for future use.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

For personal safety, this air conditioner must be properly grounded.

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.

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.

Electrical Requirements

Some models require 115/120-volt a.c., 60 Hz grounded outlet protected with

a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.

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.
