WARNING!
USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS--115-Voltmodelsonly
Because ofpotential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord.
Howex>t; if you must/lse an extension cord,
it is absolutely necessary that it be a UiAismd,
14 gauge, 3-wire grounding b'pe appliance
extension cord having a grounding type plug
and outlet and flint fl)e electrical rating of rite
cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 195 x_lts.
CAUtiON:
DO NOT use an extension cord with any of the
230/208 volt models.
USEOFADAPTERPLUGS--115-Voltmodelsonly
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an adapter plug.
Howex>[; if you must rise an adapte[; where
local codes permit, a temporary connection may
be made to a properly grounded 9-prong wall
outlet by use of a UiAismd adaptor available at
most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in fl_e adapter must be
aligned with the larger slot in file wall outlet
to provide proper polarity in the connection
of the power cord.
When disconnecting file power cord flom the
adapter; alwws hold tile adaptor in place with
one hand while pulling tile power cord plug
with the other hand. If this is not done, the
adaptor ground temfinal is x>tT likely' to b_eak
with repeamd use.
If the adapter ground temfinal breaks, DO NOT
USE the air conditioner until aproper ground
has been established,
Attaching the adapter groundtermba/ to a waft outlet

(_) ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Some models require a 115/120-volt a.c.,
60 Hz grounded outlet protected with a
15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the
possibility of electric shock hazard. If the wall
outlet you plan to use is only a 2-prong outlet,
it is your responsibility to have it replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
©
@
Some models require 230/208-volt a.c.,
protected with a time delay fuse or circuit
breaker. These models should be installed
on their own single branch circuit for
best performance and to prevent
overloading house or apartment wiring
circuits, which could cause a possible
fire hazard from overheating wires.
CAUTION:
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
Do not change the plug on the power cord
of this air conditioner.
Aluminum house wiring may present special
problems--consult a qualified electrician.

Through-the-Wall Installation Instructions--Optional
The case may be installed through the wall
in both existing and new construction.
Read completely, then follow step-by-step.
[] IMPORTANT
Through-the-wall installation is not
appropriate if any of the side louvers in the
case will be obstructed by the wall.
All side louvers in the case must project on
the outdoor side of the wall.
The room side of the case must project into
the room at least 13A"from the finished wall.
The case must be installed level from side-
to-side and with a slight tilt from front to
rear. Use a level; about a 1/2 bubble will be
the correct case slant to the outside.
[] Remove the air conditioner from the case.
For specific instruction, refer to the Window
Installation Instructions.
[] Make certain that a wall receptacle is
available close to the hole location or make
arrangements to install a receptacle.
[] Place the case in the wall opening and
secure with 12 1" long #10 wood screws.
NOTE: Drill pilot holes, if necessary, for
proper installation. If the frame is oversized,
use shims to prevent case distortion.
[] FINISH THE WALL OPENING
Caulk all four sides on the outdoor side of
the case to prevent moisture from getting
through to the interior wall. Use of flashing
(drip rail) will further prevent water from
dripping inside the wall and down the
outside of the building.
