Important Safety Information
3
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
This is a temporary method.
UL-listed adapters are avail-
able 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. For
models with nameplate ratings
greater than 12 amperes, do not
use an extension cord.
Extension Cord
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
LOW COOL
provide
cooling with different fan speeds.
FAN
provides air circulation and filtering
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.

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
6
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.

or metal.
•The electrical outlet must be
within reach of the power cord.
Do not use an extension cord.
Window
Requirements
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 stool.
WOOD PIECES:
WIDTH:
2″
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 1/2″higher
than the top of the storm window
frame.
Attach securely with nails or screws.
