SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! 
Risk of electric shock. 
Can cause injury or death. This appliance 
must be properly grounded. Do not, under any 
circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) 
prong from the power cord. For personal safety, 
this appliance must be properly grounded.
„

The power cord of this appliance is equipped 
with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates 
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall 
outlet to minimize the possibility of electric 
shock hazard from this appliance.
  
„

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a 
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is 
properly grounded.
„

Power cord may include 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. 
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.
„

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, 
it is your personal responsibility and 
obligation to have it replaced with a properly 
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
WARNING! 
Risk of electric shock. Can 
cause injury or death.
„

The air conditioner should always be plugged 
into its own individual electrical outlet which 
has a voltage rating that matches the rating 
plate. This provides  
the best performance and also prevents 
overloading house wiring circuits which 
could cause a fire hazard from overheated 
wires.

Requirements section for specific electrical
