Outlet wiring

responsibility of the consumer to provide
proper and adequate receptacle wiring,
installed by a qualified electrician. Observe
National Electrical Code and all local
governing codes and ordinances.

Electrical connection

Electrical ground is required on this air
conditioner.

Recommended ground method
For your personal safety, this air conditioner
must be grounded. This air conditioner is
equipped with a power supply cord
having a 3-prong ground plug. To minimize
possible shock hazard, the cord must be
plugged into a mating 3-prong ground-type
outlet, grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70 –
latest edition) and local codes and
ordinances. If a mating outlet is not
available, it is the responsibility of the
customer to have a properly grounded
3-prong outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

A 115-volt (103.5 min., 126.5 max.), 60-Hz,
AC-only, 15-ampere fused electrical supply
is required (time delay fuse or time delay
circuit breaker required). It is required that a
