IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock

or personal injury.

■ Use this appliance only for its intended

purpose as described in this Owner’s

Manual.

■This air conditioner must be properly

installed in accordance with the Installation

Instructions before it is used.

■Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling

on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly

and pull straight out from the receptacle.

■ Repair or replace immediately all electric

service cords that have become frayed or

otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that

shows cracks or abrasion damage along its

length or at either the plug or connector end.

■ Turn the mode control to

OFF

and unplug

your air conditioner before making any

repairs or cleaning.

NOTE:

We strongly recommend that any

servicing be performed by a qualified

individual.

■ For your safety…do not store or use

combustible materials, gasoline or other

flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity

of this or any other appliance.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove

the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For

personal safety, this appliance must be properly

grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped

with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates

with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall

outlet to minimize the possibility of electric

shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a

qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is

properly grounded.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,

it is your personal responsibility and obligation

to have it replaced with a properly grounded

3-prong wall outlet.

The air conditioner should always be

plugged into its own individual electrical

outlet which has a voltage rating that matches

the rating plate.

This provides the best performance and also

prevents overloading house wiring circuits

which could cause a fire hazard from

overheated wires.

See the Installation Instructions,

Electrical

Requirements

section for specific electrical

connection requirements.

Safety Instructions Installation Instructions

WARNING!

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of an extension cord.

However, if you must use an extension cord,

it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed,

14 gauge, 3-wire grounding type appliance

extension cord having a grounding type plug

and outlet and that the electrical rating of the

cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.

CAUTION:

DO NOT use an extension cord with any of

the 230/208 volt models.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS –

115-Volt models only

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the use

of an adapter plug.

However, if you must use an adapter, where

local codes permit, a

temporary connection

may

be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall

outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at

most local hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned

with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide

proper polarity in the connection of the power

cord.

When disconnecting the power cord from the

adapter, always hold the adapter in place with

one hand while pulling the power cord plug

with the other hand. If this is not done, the

adapter ground terminal is very likely to break

with repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks,

DO NOT

USE

the air conditioner until a proper ground

has been established.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet

cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the

cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall

outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should

have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to

make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS –

115-Volt models only

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Air Filter

The air filter behind the front grille should be

To remove:

Open the inlet grille upward by pulling out the

bottom of the inlet grille.

Using the tab, pull up slightly on the filter to

release it and pull it down.

Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and

let the filter dry before replacing it.

CAUTION: DO NOT operate the air conditioner without a

filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.

Outdoor Coils

The coils on the outdoor side of the air conditioner

should be checked regularly. If they are clogged

with dirt or soot they may be professionally steam

cleaned, a service available through your GE

service outlet.

Grille and Case

Turn the air conditioner off and remove the plug

from the wall outlet before cleaning.

To clean, use water and a mild detergent. Do not

use bleach or abrasives.

Preparing to install the air conditioner.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

NOTE TO INSTALLER: Leave these instructions with

the air conditioner after installation is completed.

NOTE TO CONSUMER: Keep this Owner’s Manual

and Installation Instructions for future use.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

For personal safety, this air conditioner must be

properly grounded.

It is important to have the wall outlet and circuit

checked by a qualified electrician if there is any

doubt as to whether a proper ground exists.

Follow National Electric Codes (NEC) and/or local

codes and ordinances.

CAUTION:

Do not, under any circumstances, cut or

remove the third (ground) prong from the

power cord.

Do not change the plug on the power cord

of this air conditioner.

Aluminum house wiring may present

special problems—consult a qualified

electrician.

Before You Begin

Some models require 115/120-volt a.c.,

60 Hz grounded outlet protected with

a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.

The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the

possibility of electric shock hazard. If the wall outlet

you plan to use is only a 2-prong outlet, it is your

responsibility to have it replaced with a properly

grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

Some models require 230/208-volt a.c.,

protected with a time delay fuse or circuit

breaker. These models should be installed

on their own single branch circuit for best

performance and to prevent overloading

house or apartment wiring circuits, which

could cause a possible fire hazard from

overheating wires.
