Friedrich Kuhl Series 28000 BTU Window Air Conditioner Installation and Operation Manual - Manuel (Page 27)

IMPORTANT: Before you begin the actual installation of your air
conditioner, check your local electrical codes and the information below.
Your air conditioner must be connected to a power source with the same
alternating current (A.C.) voltage and amperage as marked on the name
plate located on the chassis. Only A.C. can be used. Direct Current (D.C.)
cannot be used.
CIRCUIT PROTECTION – Use on single outlet circuit only. An overloaded
circuit will invariably cause malfunction or failure of an air conditioner;
therefore, it is necessary that the electrical protection is adequate. Due
to momentary high current demand when the air conditioner starts, use a
“TIME DELAY” fuse or a HACR type circuit breaker. Consult your dealer or
power company if in doubt.
Refer to the electrical name plate located on the air conditioner chassis
(see Page 2) to determine the correct fuse or circuit breaker amperage for
your model (see Table 1 on Page 6 for electrical receptacle types).
The power cord has a plug with a grounding prong and a matching
receptacle is required.
