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.

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.

About the controls on the air conditioner.

Features and appearance will vary.

Controls

Mode Control

HI COOL , MED COOL

and

LOW COOL

provide

cooling with different fan speeds.

HI FAN, MED FAN

provide air

circulation and filtering without cooling.

Cooling Descriptions

For Normal Cooling

with the

temp control at the highest number available

on your knob.

For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling

—Select

Temp Control

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 a

higher number the indoor air will become

cooler. Turn the knob to a lower number and

the indoor air will become warmer.

MODE

Your model will have one of the above type controls.

TEMP

Your model will have one of the above type controls.

NOTE: If you move the mode control from a cool

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

minutes before switching back to a cool setting.

Air Direction

Fingertip pressure on the vertical louver tabs

lets you control the air direction left or right.

Additional controls and important information.

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.

Air Filter

The air filter behind the front grille should be

checked and cleaned at least every 30 days or

more often if necessary.

To remove:

Grasp the tab and gently pull the filter up and out.

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.

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

These 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.

Storm 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 provided by

the installer.

Read completely, then follow step-by-step.

Window Requirements

■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 accordion panels if needed to fit in a narrow

window. See the window opening dimensions

below.

■All supporting parts must be secured to firm

wood, masonry or metal.

■The electrical outlet must be within reach of the

power cord.
