Room Air Conditioners Manual

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING
Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.
This appliance must be properly grounded. Where
a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your
responsibility and obligation to have it replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong outlet.
Some models require a 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.
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.

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.
