SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

•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.

•Unplug your air conditioner

before making any repairs.

NOTE:

We strongly recommend

that any servicing be performed by

a qualified individual.

HIGH COOL, MED COOL

and

LOW COOL

provide

cooling with different fan speeds.

HIGH FAN

and

LOW FAN

provide air circulation

and filtering without cooling.

NOTE:

If you move the switch from a cool setting to

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

before switching back to a cool setting.

The thermostat control is used to maintain

the room temperature. The air conditioner 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.

SELECTOR CONTROL THERMOSTAT CONTROL

When the vent control is 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.

Two levers on each side of the grille let you

control the air direction left or right.

Fingertip pressure on the tabs adjusts the air

direction up or straight ahead.

DO NOT adjust the louvers down any lower than

straight out.

Air that is blown down will affect

the thermostat, causing the air conditioner to

turn off before the room is cooled.

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 weather 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: Lift the top of the

filter and gently pull it up.

The filter can be washed in 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.

•

For personal safety, this air

conditioner must be properly

grounded.

•

It is important to have the wall out-

let and circuit checked by a quali-

fied electrician if there is any doubt

as to whether a proper ground

exists.

•

Follow national electrical codes or

local codes and ordinances.

CAUTION:

Important Notes

The 230/208-volt models require

their own single branch circuit sup-

plying 230/208-volt a.c., protected

with a time delay fuse or circuit

breaker.

This is recommended for best

performance and to prevent over-

loading house wiring circuits,

which could cause a possible fire

hazard from overheating wires.
