models
WARNING!
Risk
o_
e/ectric
shock
Can
cause
injury or death.
We strongly
recommend
against
the
use
of an extension
cord.
If you must use an extension cord,
it is absolutely
necessary that it be a UL-
listed, 14-gauge, 3-wire grounding-type
appliance extension cord having a
grounding-type
plug and outlet and that the
electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes
(minimum) and 125 volts.
DO NOT use an extension cord with any
of the 2:30/208-volt
models.
USE OF ADAPTER
PLUGS--llS-Volt
models
,&WARNING!
Risk
o_e/ectric
shock
Can
cause
injury or death.
We strongly
recommend
against
the
use
of an adapter
plug.
If you must use an adapter, where local
codes permit,
a temporary
connection
may be made to a properly grounded
2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL-Iisted
adapter available at most local hardware
stores.
_:,The larger slot in the adapter must be
aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet
to provide proper polarity
in the connection
of the power cord.
_:,When disconnecting
the power cord from
the adapter, always
hold the adapter in
place with one hand while pulling the power
cord plug with the other hand. If this is not
done, the adapter ground terminal
is very
likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter
ground terminal
breaks,
DO NOT USE
the air conditioner
until a
proper ground
has been established.
*:, Attaching
the adapter ground terminal
to a wall outlet cover screw does not
ground the appliance
unless the cover
screw is metal, not insulated, and the wall
outlet is grounded
through the house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet
is properly
grounded.
