Room Air Conditioner

Power Cord with Arc Detection Device

The power cord supplied with this air conditioner is equipped with an Arc Detection Device designed to shut off power to the unit when it senses an arc fault condition. An arc fault is an unintentional electrical discharge that occurs when electrical products or wires are damaged, aged, or improperly used. An arc fault can be potentially hazardous if left undetected.

WARNING

•Do not remove or modify this plug

•Do not use as an on/off switch

•Do not use outdoors

•Do not push furniture against or place furniture on the electrical cord. This can trip the test switch and/or damage the cord and become a potential condition for arcing

•Do not attempt to repair the cord. If the cord requires replacement, call an authorized servicer.

•The Arc Detection Device is not a Ground Fault Interrupter and should not be used as such

•The Arc Detection Device contains an electronic circuit board and should not be submerged or exposed to water spray

•Do not alter cord or plug end. Do not remove warning label on cord.

Important Grounding Requirements

•Air conditioner has a three-prong grounding plug on the power supply cord, which must be plugged into a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle for your protection against possible shock hazard. For models up to and including 7.5 amperes, use a grounding type wall receptacle to match the cord plug.

•For models above 7.5 amperes use a single outlet grounding type wall receptacle to match the cord plug.
