Recommended grounding method  
WARNING  
This air conditioner must be grounded. This air conditioner is  
equipped with a power supply cord having a grounded 3 prong  
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the cord must be  
plugged into a mating, grounded 3 prong outlet, grounded in  
accordance with all local codes and ordinances. If a mating outlet  
is not available, it is the customer's responsibility to have a  
properly grounded 3 prong outlet installed by a qualified electrical  
installer.  
Electrical Shock Hazard  
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.  
Do not remove ground prong.  
Do not use an adapter.  
It is the customer's responsibility:  
I
To contact a qualified electrical installer.  
I
To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in  
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 -  
latest edition, and all local codes and ordinances.  
Do not use an extension cord.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,  
fire, or electrical shock.
