ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Some models require a 115/120-volt AC, 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 AC, 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..

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.

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED
	Phillips head screwdriver

Power cord includes a current interrupter device.. A test and reset button is provided on the plug case.. The device should be tested on a periodic basis by first pressing the TEST button and then the RESET button while plugged into the outlet.. If the TEST button does not trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician..
