IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
SAFETY INFORMATION
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety
messages will follow the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER”, “WARNING”, or “CAUTION”. These words are defined as:
DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
WARNING
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock or personal
injury.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
Replace immediately all electric service cords that
have become frayed or otherwise damaged. A
damaged power supply cord must be replaced
with a new power supply cord obtained from the
manufacturer and not repaired. Do not use a cord
that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its
length or at either the plug or connector end.
Turn the unit OFF and unplug your air conditioner
before cleaning.
GE does not support any servicing of the air
conditioner. We strongly recommend that you do not
attempt to service the air conditioner yourself.
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.
All air conditioners contain refrigerants, which under
federal law must be removed prior to product
disposal. If you are getting rid of an old product
with refrigerants, check with the company handling
disposal about what to do.
If the receptacle does not match the plug, the
receptacle must be changed out by a qualified
electrician.
These R410A air conditioning systems require
contractors and technicians to use tools, equipment
and safety standards approved for use with this
refrigerant. DO NOT use equipment certified for
R22 refrigerant only.

WARNING
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
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.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
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.
Power cord includes a current interrupter device. A
test and reset button is provided on the plug case. The
device should be tested on a periodic basis by first
pressing the TEST button and then the RESET button
while plugged into the outlet. If the TEST button does
not trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged,
discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a
qualified service technician.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
RISK OF FIRE. Could cause serious injury or death.
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.
• DO NOT use an extension cord with this Window Air
Conditioner.
• DO NOT use surge protectors or multi-outlet adaptors
with this Window Air Conditioner.

Do Not Operate in Freezing Outdoor Conditions
This cool-only air conditioner was not designed for freezing
outdoor conditions. It must not be used in freezing outdoor
conditions.
Remote Control
To ensure proper operation, aim the remote control at the
signal receiver on the air conditioner.
Make sure nothing is between the air conditioner and the
remote control that could block the signal.
The remote control signal has a range of up to 20 feet.
Make sure batteries are fresh and installed correctly as
indicated on the remote control.
Remote contains a magnet allowing it to attach to metal
surfaces.
Cool Mode
Use the Cool mode at Low, Med, High or Auto Fan Speed
for cooling. Use the Temperature Increase Ÿ / Decrease ź
pads to set the desired temperature between 64°F and 86°F
in 1°F increments.
An electronic thermostat is used to maintain the room
temperature. The compressor will cycle on and off to keep
the room at the set level of comfort. Set the thermostat at a
lower number and the indoor air will become cooler. Set the
thermostat at a higher number and the indoor air will become
warmer.
NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on
while set to a Cool setting or if turned from a fan setting to
a Cool setting, it may take approximately 3 minutes for the
compressor to start and cooling to begin.

For Maximum Cooling³6HOHFWWKH Cool mode and High fan
with a lower set temperature.
For Quieter and Nighttime Cooling³6HOHFWWKHCool mode
and Low fan with a middle set temperature.
Energy Saver Mode
This mode optimizes the cooling power of your air
conditioner, thereby saving you energy. Once the set
point temperature has been reached, the fan will cycle
off to save energy. The fan will cycle back on periodically
to insure all cooling capacity in the system is used. This
mode is the default mode for the unit. Each time the unit is
powered off, it will restart in Energy Saver mode ON. This
includes Delay timer mode. The first time the unit is turned on,
the settings will be 70° and Low fan. You can adjust the fan
speed and temperature to your personal comfort.
Fan Only Mode
Use the Fan Only Mode at Low, Med or High fan speed to
provide air circulation and filtering without cooling. Since
fan-only settings do not provide cooling, a Set temperature
cannot be entered. The room temperature will appear in the
display.
Auto Fan Speed
Set to Auto fan speed for the fan speed to automatically set
to the speed needed to provide optimum comfort settings
with the set temperature.

normal for the fan to cycle off and then back on in this
mode. This on/off cycle can repeat multiple times. Because
the fan will cycle off, you may notice a variation in room
temperature and humidity.

speed will automatically decrease.
NOTE: Auto Fan Speed cannot be used when in the Fan Only

Power Outage Recovery Feature
In the case of a power outage or interruption, the unit will
automatically restart in the settings last used after the power
is restored. If the Delay 1–24hr feature was set, it will resume
countdown. You may need to set a new time if desired.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Some models require a 115/120-volt AC,
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 AC,
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.
