Electrical Requirements
For Your Air Conditioner
IMPORTANT: Read model and serial plate behind the
front panel (to remove front panel, see page 4) to
determine which electrical requirement instructions
to follow. For plug type shown in Figure 1, if
ampere (amps) is 6.0 through 7.5 follow A - ELEC-
TRICAL REQUIREMENTS. Ampere 7.6 through 12.0
follow B - ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS, page 7. If
the plug type matches the one shown in Figure 2,
follow C - ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS, page 6.

Electrical Ground Is Required
on This Appliance
Recommended Grounding Method
For your personal safety, this appliance must be
grounded. This appliance is equipped with a power
supply cord having 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 the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. If a
mating wall receptacle is not available, it is the
personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to have a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle
installed by a qualified electrician. See Figure 1.
Alternate Grounding Method
If changing and properly grounding the wall recepta-
cle is impossible and where local codes permit
(consult your electrical inspector), a temporary
adapter may be plugged into the existing 2-prong wall
receptacle to mate with the 3-prong power supply
cord. See Figure 2. THIS, HOWEVER, IS NOT REC-
OMMENDED.
If this is done, you must connect the grounding eyelet
on the adapter to the wall receptacle cover plate
screw and from this same screw, you must connect a
separate copper ground wire (#14 minimum) to a
grounded cold water pipe.* See
Figure 2 on Page 7.
Do not ground to a gas supply pipe. Do not connect to
electrical supply until appliance is permanently
grounded.
A 115 volt (103.5 min., 126.5 max.), 60 hertz AC only, 15
ampere fused electrical supply is required (time delay
fuse or time delay circuit breaker recommended). See
Figure 1. It is recommended that a separate circuit,
serving only this appliance, be provided. Do not use
an extension cord. 6
