Power Cord with 
Arc Detection Device
The power cord supplied with this air condi-
tioner 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.
Electrical Shock Hazard
• Plug 
unit 
only into a grounded
electrical outlet.
•  Do not use an extension cord or plug adapter
with this unit.
•  Do not operate unit with decorative front or fil-
ter removed. 
•  Failure to follow these precautions could
result in electrical shock, fire or personal
injury.
•  If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating
of 115 volts and greater than 7.5 amps, it
must have its own fuse or circuit breaker, and
no other device or unit should be operated on
that fuse or circuit breaker. 
If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating
of 230 volts, it must have its own fuse or cir-
cuit breaker, and no other device or unit
should be operated on that fuse or circuit
breaker.
•  We recommend that a qualified electrician
install unit in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordi-
nances.
•  Use copper conductors of correct wire gauge
and protector size only.
•  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 pos-
sible 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.
Additional Safety Precautions 
•  Do not cut, alter or remove any of the
expanded polystyrene (styrofoam) inside
this air conditioner.
•  Do not store or use gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids in the vicin-
ity of this or any other appliance. The
fumes can create a fire hazard or explo-
sion.
•  Do not introduce objects in the air dis-
charge area. This could cause permanent
damage.
•  Do not pour liquids on the air conditioner
as this could cause a malfunction. With
the unit unplugged, use a damp cloth for
cleaning the unit.
•  Do not use strong solvents to clean the air
conditioner. 
•  Clean the air conditioner filter every two
weeks to avoid overheating caused by air
obstruction. Do not operate without filter.
•  Do not obstruct the air intake area of your
air conditioner, as this could cause over-
heating, thus activating the unit’s security
switch and shutting off the unit.
•  Do not block air circulation to outside
louvers of cabinet.
•  Do not block air flow inside with blinds,
curtains, or furniture, or outside with
shrubs, enclosures, or other  buildings.
•  Do not run the air conditioner with an
outside protective cover in place. This
could result in fire or mechanical damage
within the air conditioner.
Depending on the model, your air condi-
tioner may weigh as much as 95 pounds.
To insure safe handling, obtain the neces-
sary help to lift and position the unit dur-
ing installation and removal.
Handle air conditioner with care. Wear
protective gloves whenever lifting or car-
rying the unit.
