U' SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this Owner's Manual.
This air conditioner must be properly installed
in accordance with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling on
the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and
pull straight out from the receptacle.
Replace immediately all electric service
cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. A damaged power supply cord
must be replaced with a new power supply
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.
If the receptacle does not match the plug, the
receptacle must be changed out by a qualified
electrician.

appliance.
All air conditioners contain refrigerants, which
under federal low 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 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.
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. 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.
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.
