front or filter 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.
If the air conditioner has a serial plate
rating of 230 volts, it must have its
own fuse or circuit breaker, and no
other device or unit should be
operated on that fuse or circuit
breaker.
We recommend that a qualified
electrician install unit in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and
local codes and ordinances.
Use copper conductors of correct wire
gauge and protector size only.

remove warning label on cord.
Important Grounding Requirements
Air conditioner has a three-prong
grounding plug on the 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.
