I've just received an air conditioner (http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-

amp plug. I looked online and it matched up with my outlet, which is
three prong, two running vertically.

The AC arrived, and the plug has three prongs, two running
horizontally.

Is there an adapter I could use? I don't know much about this stuff.

Thanks.


Thanks all for the information. I'm going to process it. I live in a
largeish apt building, so doing electrical work would be more involved
than the actual labor....

Question: was I incorrect to think that a B-type, 15 amp plug would
have vertical prongs?


It looks like that is a 30 Amp 220 Volt plug.

It's 15 amp 240 volt. Looks the same as a 30 amp only much smaller. The
unit draws 5.8 amps
