Instructions before it is used.
Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling

cord obtained from the manufacturer and
not repaired. Do not use a cord that shows
cracks or abrasion damage along its length
or at either the plug or connector end.

n
the receptacle must be changed out by a
qualified electrician.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

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.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this
appliance.
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.
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.

Turn the unit OFF and unplug your air
n
conditioner before making any repairs
or cleaning.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any
servicing be performed by a qualified
individual.
For your safety...do not store or use
n
combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
All air conditioners contain refrigerants,
n
which under federal law must be removed
prior to product disposal. If you are getting
rid of an old product with refrigerants, check
with the company handling disposal about
what to do.
These R410A air conditioning systems
n
require contractors and technicians to use
tools, equipment and safety standards
approved for use with this refrigerant.
DO NOT use equipment certified for R22
refrigerant only.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by
a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly grounded.
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.
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.
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical
Requirements section for specific electrical
connection requirements.
