Use and Care Manual

For your personal safety, this air conditioner must be grounded. This air conditioner
is equipped with a 3 prong power supply cord with a grounded plug. To minimize the
possibility of electrical shock, the cord must be plugged into a 3 prong outlet and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a 3 prong outlet is
not available, it is the customer’s responsibility to have a properly grounded 3 prong
outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and
Interruption) power cord and plug as required by US National Electric Code
440.65. This cord consists of a length of shielded flexible cord with no termination
on the load side and a LCDI attachment plug on the line side.
• The LCDI power cord and plug will remove the supply source via electrical
disconnect (circuit trip) if the nominal current leakage between the cord shield
and either load conductor exceeds a predetermined value. The cord will remain
deenergized until the device has been manually reset. This is intended to reduce
the risk of a fire in the power cord or combustible materials nearby. The cord
shields are not grounded and they must be considered a shock hazards if exposed.
The cord shield must not be connected to ground or to any exposed metal.
• The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if the plug
is functioning properly.
To test the plug:
• Plug power cord into a wall outlet.
• Press the TEST Button, the circuit should trip and cut all power to the
air conditioner.
• Press the RESET button for use.

If a test is performed and the indicator light remains ON, the current leakage
has been detected. Do not use the air conditioner or attempt to reset the LCDI
Plug. Contact Customer Service for troubleshooting recommendations.
