SECTION 1
1.6 RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
For your personal safety, this portable air conditioner must be grounded. The portable air conditioner is
equipped with a power supply cord with a 3-prong grounding plug. To minimize possible electrical shock
hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating 3-prong grounding type outlet, grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. If a mating 3-prong type outlet is not available, it is the consumer's
responsibility to have a properly grounded, 3-prong outlet installed by a licensed installer.
It is the customer's responsibility:
•
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
•
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.
Copies of the standards listed may be obtained from:

Or your state board of electricity.
1.7 LCDI PLUG TECHNOLOGY (US ONLY)
A Leakage-Current Detect and Interrupt (LCDI) is a device that senses leakage current flowing between or
fom the power conductors in an appliance cord and interrupts the circuit as a predetermined level of leakage
current. Since an LCDI specifically can detect a current leakage flowing to ground, it provides ground fault
protection from arcing and other problems, which arise due to leakage between conductors.
LCDIs are covered under the UL 1699 standard for ARC Fault Current Interrupts, which was first published in
June of 2002. LCDI devices have been mandated by the National Electric Code and Underwritten Laboratories
for the cordsets on room air conditioners beginning in August 2004. Other classes of appliances will require
LCDI protection in the near future.
TESTING
1. Press test button, unit should trip.
2. Press reset button for use.
NOTE: DO NOT USE IF ABOVE TEST FAILS.
In the event this device trips, the cause of the malfunction is to be corrected before use of the device.
CAUTION
The conductors inside this cord are surrounded by shields, which monitor leakage current. THESE SHIELDS ARE
NOT GROUNDED. Periodically examine the cord for any damage. DO NOT USE this product in the event the
shields become exposed.
WARNING
This product contains chemicals, including lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
