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

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.
