GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
The appliance must be connected to a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER – Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug connected to the appliance – if it will not fit the outlet,have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

FOR GROUNDED, CORD-CONNECTED APPLIANCE RATED LESS THAN 15A AND INTENDED FOR USE ON A NOMINAL 120V SUPPLY CIRCUIT
The appliance is for use on a nominal 120V circuit and should be connected to a grounding outlet that looks like the one illustrated below. The use of a temporary adaptor is not recommended.

LCDI POWER CORD AND PLUG

This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) power cord that is required by UL. This power supply cord contains state-of-the-art electronics that sense leakage current. If the cord is damaged and leakage occurs, power will be disconnected from the unit.
The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if the plug is functioning properly.

WARNING: Test LCDI before each use.

  1. To test the plug:

  2. Plug power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
    Press RESET (on some units a green light will turn on).

  3. Press the TEST button, the circuit should trip and cut all power to the air conditioner(on some units green light may turn off).

  4. Press the RESET button for use. You will hear a click and the A/C is ready for use.

  5. The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to trip when the TEST button is pressed and the unit fails to reset.

NOTES:

  • Do not use this device to turn the unit on or off.
  • Always make sure the reset button is pushed in for correct operation

WARNING:

  • The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to reset when either the test button is pushed, or it cannot be reset.
  • If power supply cord is damaged, it cannot be repaired.
  • It must be replaced by one obtained from the product manufacturer.

WARNING – RISK OF FIRE
It is important the plug fits tightly into the wall outlet.
If the plug does not fit securely and appears loose, it should not be used.
Have a licensed electrician replace the receptacle.

NOTE: FULL TANK – When the water level reaches a predetermined level, the “full tank” indicator light located on the control panel of the unit goes on. If an error code appears on the display screen on the control panel “E2” in COOL mode or “E4” in HEAT mode. The unit will have to be drained.

Intermittent Draining

  • Unplug the unit from the power source. Carefully move the unit to a drain area over your basement floor or drip pan (not included). Remove the bottom drain cap.
  • Let the water drain away and replace the drain cap. Restart the machine until the error codes E2 or E4 disappears. If the error repeats, call for service.

NOTE: Be sure to reinstall the bottom drain plug before using the unit.

Continuous Draining

  • Unplug the unit from the power source. Remove the bottom drain cap. While doing this operation some residual water may spill so have a drip pan (not supplied) to collect the water.
  • Connect the drain hose (supplied) as shown in the diagram. The water can be continuously drained through the hose into a floor drain or drip tray.
  • Turn on the unit.
