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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

RISK OF FIRE. Could cause serious injury or death.

•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.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

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.

Cooling Descriptions

For Normal Cooling³6HOHFW WKHCool mode and High or Med fan with a middle set temperature.

For Maximum Cooling³6HOHFW WKH Cool mode and High fan with a lower set temperature.

For Quieter and Nighttime Cooling³6HOHFW WKH Cool 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.

Energy Saver ON³Helps minimize electricity use. It is 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.

Energy Saver OFF³When this mode is not engaged, the fan will run continuously, and in Cool mode the compressor will cycle on and off to maintain room temperature.
