WARNING!
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord.
However, 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.
CAUTION:
DO NOT use an extension cord with any of the
230/208 volt models.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS –
115-Volt models only
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an adapter plug.
However, 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-listed 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.
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS –
115-Volt models only
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
