Preferred Grounding Method
Temporary Grounding
- Due to potential safety hazards, we strongly discourage the use of an adapter plug.
- If an adapter plug must be used for a temporary connection, use only a UL-listed adapter.
- The minimum capacity for 10,000 BTU is 120V, 60Hz, 13A, and 1560W, and for 12,000 BTU is 120V, 60Hz, 15A, and 1800W.
- Make sure that the large slot of the adapter is aligned with the large slot in the outlet.
- To prevent damage to the adapter’s ground terminal, hold the adapter in place while plugging or unplugging the air conditioner.
- Attaching the adapter ground terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded through the house wiring.
- Frequent connection and disconnection can damage the ground terminal on the adapter. Never use a broken or damaged adapter.
