WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure your electrical receptacle has the
same conguration as your air conditioner’s
plug. If different, consult a Licensed Electrician.
Do not use plug adapters.
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not remove ground prong.
Always plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Failure to follow these instructions can result
in death, re, or electrical shock.
Make sure the wiring is adequate for your unit.
If you have fuses, they should be of the time delay type. Before you
install or relocate this unit, be sure that the amperage rating of the
circuit breaker or time delay fuse does not exceed the amp rating
listed in Table 1.
DO NOT use an extension cord.
The cord provided will carry the proper amount of electrical power to
the unit; an extension cord may not.
Make sure that the receptacle is compatible with the air
conditioner cord plug provided.
Proper grounding must be maintained at all times. Two prong receptacles
must be replaced with a grounded receptacle by a certied electrician.
The grounded receptacle should meet all national and local codes
and ordinances. You must use the three prong plug furnished with
the air conditioner. Under no circumstances should you remove the
ground prong from the plug.
Test the power cord.
All Friedrich room air conditioners are shipped from the factory with
a Leakage Current Detection Interrupter (LCDI) equipped power
cord. The LCDI device on the end of the cord meets the UL and NEC
requirements for cord connected air conditioners.
To test your power supply cord:
1. Plug power supply cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Press RESET (see Figure 1).
3. Press TEST, listen for click; the RESET button trips and pops out.
4. Press and release RESET (Listen for click; RESET button latches and
remains in). The power cord is ready for use.
