Power Cord with Arc Detection Device
The power cord supplied with this air conditioner is
equipped with an Arc Detection Device designed to shut
off power to the unit when it senses an arc fault condition.
An arc fault is an unintentional electrical discharge that
occurs when electrical products or wires are damaged,
aged, or improperly used. An arc fault can be potentially
h
azardous if left undetected.

removed.
• Failure to follow these precautions could result in
electrical shock, fire or personal injury.
• If the air conditioner has a serial plate rating of 115 volts
and greater than 7.5 amps, it must have its own fuse or
circuit breaker, and no other device or unit should be
operated on that fuse or circuit breaker.

power supply cord, which must be plugged into a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle for your
protection against possible shock hazard. For models up
to and including 7.5 amperes, use a grounding type wall
receptacle to match the cord plug.
• For models above 7.5 amperes use a single outlet
grounding type wall receptacle to match the cord plug.
