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 or

explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

■ 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.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Installation Instructions Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

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,

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.

Care and cleaning of the air conditioner.

Air Filter

The air filter behind the inlet grille should be

checked and cleaned at least every 30 days or more

often if necessary.

To remove the inlet grille and the air filter:

Grasp both sides near the top of the inlet grille

and pull forward. The inlet grille will pivot

forward to reveal the air filter.

Unhook the filter from the tabs.

Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse

and let the filter dry before replacing it.

Replace the inlet grille.

CAUTION: DO NOT operate the air conditioner without a

filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.

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.

Grille and Case

Turn the air conditioner off and remove the plug

from the wall outlet before cleaning.

To clean, use water and a mild detergent. Do not

use bleach or abrasives.

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

Some 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.

Some models require 230/208-volt

a.c., protected with a time delay fuse

or circuit breaker. These models

should be installed on their own single

branch circuit for best performance

and to prevent overloading house

or apartment wiring circuits, which

could cause a possible fire hazard

from overheating wires.

Read completely, then follow step-by-step.

Window Requirements

■These instructions are for a horizontal sliding

or a casement window.

■The electrical outlet must be within reach of the

power cord.

Horizontal sliding window

■

For installation in a casement window,

the

window frame assembly and the side of the

building must be adequate to support the

weight of the air conditioner.

Prepare the Window and the Support Bracket

Attach the support platform to the sill plate

with 3 type C screws. Loosely attach the

support angle to the bottom of the support

platform using 2 type A screws with washers

and nuts.

Attach the leveling bolt and nut.

Place the sill plate against the lower window

track and firmly against the vertical side edge

of the window frame. Attach the sill plate to

the window stool using 2 type B screws.

NOTE: To overcome interference of the support platform

with the window track or storm window, securely attach a

″

wide shim strip to the window sill. This strip should be

as long as the width of the support platform and flush with

the back edge of the sill. The thickness of the strip should

be controlled by the amount of interference.

Pull the support angle against the outside wall

and tighten the screws on top of the support

platform. Adjust the leveling bolt so the

support platform is level. This will allow the

air conditioner to tilt slightly for proper

drainage. Tighten the nut.

NOTE: DO NOT drill a hole in the bottom of the pan.

The air conditioner is designed to operate with the

bottom of the pan approximately half-full of water.
