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
and
LOW FAN
provide air
circulation and filtering without cooling.
Cooling Descriptions
For Normal Cooling
—Select
HI COOL
or
MED COOL
with the temp control at midpoint.
For Maximum Cooling
—Select
HI COOL
with the
temp control at the highest number available
on your knob.
For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling
—Select
LOW COOL
with the temp control at midpoint.
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.

Care and cleaning of the air conditioner.
Air Direction
Fingertip pressure on the vertical louver tabs
lets you control the air direction left or right.
www.GEAppliances.com
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.

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
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.
