If the grounding instructions are not fully understood or if there is any uncertainty as to whether the product is correctly grounded, consult a licensed electrician or contact customer service. Have a damaged cord replaced or repaired immediately.

AC MOTOR
The electric motor in this product was designed to work with a nominal 120V/60Hz AC power supply  (average U.S. household circuit). It is not intended to operate on direct current (DC). A significant voltage drop will result in a loss of power and could damage the motor.

LEAKAGE DETECTION DEVICE
See Figure 1.
The power cord supplied with this air conditioner contains a current leakage detection device designed to reduce the risk of fire. In the event the power supply cord is damaged, it cannot be repaired and must be replaced with a new cord from the product manufacturer.
