required that a separate circuit, serving only
this air conditioner, be provided. See the
chart on page 5 for electrical plug variations.
Choose the plug that matches your unit’s
plug. Then, use the chart to find the voltage
and ampere requirements for your air
conditioner, and the gauge of copper wire
required for the receptacle wiring.

Doing so can result in death, fire, or
electrical shock.
Grounding method
For your personal safety, this appliance
must be grounded. This air conditioner
is equipped with a power supply cord
containing a 3-prong grounding plug. To
minimize possible shock hazard, the cord
must be plugged into a mating 3-prong
grounding-type wall receptacle, grounded
in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. If a mating wall receptacle is
not available, it is the responsibility of the
consumer to have a proper wall receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician.
