Before you call for service,

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 knob 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 115V

This is a temporary method

and is for 115-volt models

only. UL-listed adapters are

available at most hardware

stores.

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 extension cord.

Extension Cord 115V

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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. The higher the number

selected, the cooler the indoor air will become.

The blower runs as long as the mode control is

not on

OFF

HIGH COOL, MED COOL

and

without cooling.

NOTE:

If you move the switch from a cool setting to

OFF or to the FAN setting, wait at least 3 minutes

before switching back to a cool setting.

Fingertip pressure on the horizontal louvers

adjusts the air direction up or down.

Vertical louvers adjust the air direction to the

left or right.

The vent control is located on the inside of

the air louvers. When set at closed, only the air

inside the room is circulated, cooled and

filtered.

When set at open, some indoor air will be

exhausted from the room. This will reduce the

cooling effect.

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. If they are

clogged with dirt or soot they may

be professionally steam cleaned, a

service available through your GE

service outlet.

Outdoor Coils

The air filter behind the front

grille should be checked and

cleaned at least every 30 days

or more often if necessary.

To remove:

Gently pull the filter

tab to the right and slide it out.

The filter can be cleaned with a

vacuum cleaner to remove light

dust or washed in warm, soapy

water. Rinse and let the filter dry

before replacing it.

DO NOT

expose

the filter to heat or direct sunlight

when drying.

CAUTION:

DO NOT operate the air conditioner

without a filter because dirt and lint

will clog it and reduce performance.

Air Filter

•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.

Important Notes

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 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.
