LCDI POWER CORD AND PLUG
This air conditioner is equipped with an LCDI (Leakage Current Detection and Interruption) power cord that
is required by UL. This power supply cord contains state-of-the-art electronics that sense leakage current.
If the cord is damaged and leakage occurs, power will be disconnected from the unit.
The test and reset buttons on the LCDI Plug are used to check if the plug is functioning properly. To test
the plug:
1. Plug power cord into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Press RESET (on some units a green light will turn on).
3. Press the TEST Button, The circuit should trip and cut all power to the air conditioner (on some
units a green light may turn off).
4. Press the RESET button for use. You will hear a click and the unit is ready for use.
NOTES:
• The RESET button must be engaged for proper use.
• The power supply cord must be replaced if it fails to trip when the
TEST button is pressed and the unit fails to reset.
• Do not use the power supply cord as an ON/OFF switch. The power
supply cord is designed as a protection device.
• A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power
supply cord.
• The power supply cord contains new user serviceable parts. Opening
the tamper-resistant case voids all warranty and performance claims.
NOTES:
The power cord and plug may differ from the one shown above.
