READ THIS FIRST! Electrical Requirements
IMPORTANT: Before you begin the actual installation of the air conditioner,
be sure your electrical requirements are as described below. Consult an
electrical professional as necessary to insure home wiring is per local
electrical codes.
CIRCUIT PROTECTION - An overloaded circuit will invariably cause mal-
function or failure of an air conditioner, therefore, it is necessary that the
electrical protection is adequate. All portable chassis models require a 15
amp fuse or circuit breaker for over-amperage protection. Due to momen-
tary high current demand when your air conditioner is started, use a "TIME
DELAY" fuse or a HACR type circuit breaker. Consult your dealer or power
company if in doubt.
Your air conditioner must be connected to a power supply with the same A.C.
voltage and hertz as marked on the unit nameplate. Only alternating current
(A.C.), no direct current (D.C.), can be used.
The power cord has a plug with a grounding prong of approved type and a
matching plug receptacle with ground is required. Refer to page 3 for the
correct type of plug receptacle for your model.
WARNING: NEVER CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG
FROM PLUG. NEVER USE EXTENSION CORDS TO OPERATE AN AIR
CONDITIONER.
