WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Failure to follow these instructions can result in electric shock, fire, or death.
- This unit must be properly grounded.
- Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the grounding plug.
- If you do not have a properly grounded AC outlet, or if there is any doubt that the outlet is not properly grounded, a qualified electrician should check the outlet and circuit and, if necessary, install a properly grounded outlet.
- This air conditioner must be plugged into a grounded 115V, 60 Hz AC outlet, protected by a 15 amp time-delay fuse or circuit breaker.
- This air conditioner must be installed in accordance with national wiring codes.
- Do not alter or modify the plug or cord of this air conditioner. If the power cord becomes worn or damaged, the cord should only be replaced by a qualified service technician using genuine replacement parts.
- Do not use an extension cord.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Integrated circuit breaker
For additional safety, the power cord on this air conditioner features an integrated circuit breaker. You can test and reset the circuit breaker using the buttons provided on the plug case. Consult a qualified electrician or service person if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the air conditioner is properly grounded.
The circuit breaker should be tested periodically by pressing the TEST button, then pressing the RESET button. If the TEST button does not cause the circuit breaker to trip, or if the RESET button does not stay engaged, unplug the air conditioner immediately and contact an Insignia technician.
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 with a minimum capacity of 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.
