ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
These models require a 115/120-volt AC,
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.
CAUTION
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.
Aluminum house wiring may present special
problems—consult a qualified electrician.
ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS (CONT)
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.
