Before you call for service,

better.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION

BEFORE USING

•This air conditioner must be

properly installed in accordance

with the Installation Instructions

before it is used.

•Repair or replace immediately

all electric service cords that have

become frayed or otherwise

damaged.

•Turn the mode control to

OFF

and

unplug your air conditioner before

making any repairs.

NOTE:

We strongly recommend

that any servicing be performed by

a qualified individual.

Because most 2-prong outlets are

not grounded, we strongly advise

against using an adapter plug.

However, a temporary connection

may be made where local codes

permit and if the 2-prong wall out-

let is properly grounded.

When you plug the adapter in,

make sure the larger prong goes

into the larger slot to provide the

proper polarity for the power cord.

FOR PROPER GROUNDING:

1 Screw the adapter to the outlet,

using the outlet cover screw.

2 Ground the outlet through the house

wiring.

When disconnecting the power

cord from the adapter, hold the

adapter close to the outlet while

pulling the plug out. If this is not

done, the grounding connector is

likely to break with repeated use.

If the grounding connector breaks,

DO NOT USE

the air conditioner

until a proper ground has again

been made.

Adapter Plug

This is a temporary method.

UL-listed adapters are avail-

able at most hardware stores.

The use of an extension cord is not

recommended. However, if an

extension cord is required to reach

the nearest wall receptacle, use only

a UL-listed, 3-wire, grounded, 14

gauge, 15A, 125V appliance exten-

sion cord.

CAUTION:

DO NOT use an extension cord with

any of the 208/230-volt models.

Extension Cord

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Your model will look like one of these.

The temp control is used to maintain the

room temperature. The compressor will cycle

on and off to keep the room at the same level

of comfort. When you turn the knob to

COOLER

(blue) the indoor air will become cooler. Turn

the knob to

WARMER

(red) and the indoor air

will become warmer.

HEAT PUMP MODELS

When the outdoor temperature is lower than

25°F., heat is provided by the electric heater in

the air conditioner instead of by the heat pump.

NOTE:

The electric resistance heater in the 115-volt

heat pump model operates during defrost when

the outdoor coil temperature is below 36°F. It is

not intended to provide full heat capability.

HIGH COOL

and

LOW COOL

provide cooling with

different fan speeds.

HIGH HEAT

and

LOW HEAT

provide heating with

different fan speeds.

LOW FAN

HIGH FAN

provides air circulation

and filtering without cooling or heating.

NOTE:

If you move the switch from a cool or heat setting

to OFF or to a fan setting, wait at least 3 minutes

before switching back to a cool or heat setting.

A 3-minute delay is automatically provided on the

Heat/Cool and Heat Pump models.

On Heat/Cool models, the fan switch lever is

located in a hole through the control panel. To

reach it, you need to remove the front grille.

Use a small screwdriver to change the setting.

Cool only models have a rocker switch on the

front of the control box.

The vent control is located behind the front

grille. When set at

, only the air inside the

room will be circulated and conditioned. You

may adjust it by removing the front grille. When

set at

OPEN

, some inside air is exhausted out-

side.

NOTE:

The vent lever is taped in the

position when it leaves the factory. Remove

the tape before using.

Fan Switch Vent Control

Limiting the maximum and minimum settings

prevents users from turning the control to the

extreme heat or cool positions.

The normal range of the temp control is approx-

imately 60° F to 85° F. The control range may be

narrowed by the use of the temperature limiting

screws located behind the control panel.

Horizontal louvers on the front grille let you

control the air direction up and down.

Remove the front grille to adjust the vertical

louvers side-to-side to direct the air left or right.

Care & Cleaning

Turn the air conditioner off and

remove the plug from the wall out-

let before cleaning.

To clean, use water and a mild

detergent. Do not use bleach or

abrasives.

Grille and Case

The coils on the outdoor side of

the air conditioner should be

checked regularly. It is necessary to

remove the chassis from the wall

case to inspect them. Dirt build-up

occurs on the surface which is not

visible from the outside. If they are

clogged with dirt or soot they may

be professionally steam cleaned, a

service available through your GE

service outlet.

Turn the air conditioner off before

cleaning.

The most important thing you can

do to maintain the air conditioner

is to clean the filter at least every 30

days. Clogged filters reduce cool-

ing, heating and airflow.

Keeping the filter clean will:

•Decrease cost of operation.

•Save energy.

•Prevent clogged heat exchanger

coils.

•Reduce the risk of premature

component failure.

To clean the air filter:

•Vacuum off the heavy soil.

•Run water through the filter

from the back side.

•Dry thoroughly before replacing.

Carefully pull the tab forward, up

and out.

Replace the clean filter by pushing

it back into place.

CAUTION:

DO NOT operate the air conditioner

without the filter in place. If a filter

becomes torn or damaged it should

be replaced immediately.

Operating without the filter in

place or with a damaged filter will

allow dirt and dust to reach the

indoor coil and reduce the cooling,

heating, airflow and efficiency of

the unit.

Replacement filters are available

from your salesperson, GE dealer,

GE Service and Parts Center

or authorized Customer Care®

servicers.

•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 Electrical Code (NEC) 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.

We recommend that the 230/208-volt, 60 Hz

models be installed on their own single branch

circuit supplying 230/208-volt a.c., protected

with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker.

PPaarraalllleellPPeerrppeennddiiccuullaarrTTaannddeemm

115V. 230/208V. 230/208V.

15 Amp. 20 Amp. 15Amp.

This is recommended for best performance and

to prevent overloading house or apartment

wiring circuits, which could cause a possible fire

hazard from overheating wires.

The 115-volt models require a 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 possi-

bility 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.

Installer: Leave these instructions with the appliance.

Owner: Keep these instructions for future use.

Electrical Requirements

Before you begin AJES and AJHS models have filler panels. Directions begin below.

The installation instructions for AJCS models with accordion curtains

begin on page 17.

Installation Instructions

Read completely, then follow step-by-step

•These instructions are for a standard double-

hung window. You will need to modify them for

other types of windows.

•The air conditioner can be installed without

the filler panels if needed to fit in a narrow

window. See the window opening dimensions

to the right.

•All supporting parts must be secured to firm

wood, masonry or metal.

•The electrical outlet must be within reach of

the power cord.

A storm window frame will not allow the air

conditioner to tilt towards the outside and will

keep it from draining properly. To adjust for this,

attach a piece of wood to the sill and the stool.

WOOD PIECES:

WIDTH:

2²

LENGTH:

Long enough to fit inside the window

frame.

THICKNESS:

To determine the thickness, place a

piece of wood on the stool to make it 1/2²higher

than the top of the storm window frame.

Attach securely with nails or screws provided by

the installer.

Window opening dimensions are for a standard double-hung

window.
