WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed tominimize the risk of fire, electric shock

or personal injury.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

iiiiiiiiiiiii!

Use this appliance only for its intended

purpose as described in this Owner's

Manual.

This air conditioner must be properly

installed in accordance xdth 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 flom the receptacle.

Replace immediately all electric serx,ice

cords that have become flayed 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 OFFmid unplug your air

conditioner before cleaning.

GE does not support any ser\,icing of the air

conditioner We strongly recommend that

you do not attempt to serx,ice the air

conditioner yourself,

iiiiiiiiiiiii!

For your safety...do not store or use

combustible mamrials, gasoline or other

flammable vapors or liquids in the x,icinity

of this or any other appliance.

All air conditioners contain refligerants,

which under federal law must be removed

prior m product disposal. If you are getting

rid of an old product with refrigerants, check

with the company handling disposal about

what to do.

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

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.

Power cord includes a current intermpmr

dex,ice. A test and reset button is prox,ided on

the plug case. The dex,ice should be tested on a

periodic basis by first pressing the rESrbutton

and then the RESErbuuon._f the rESrbutto.

does not trip or if the RESErbutton will not

stay engaged, discontinue use of the air

conditioner and contact a qualified

ser\,ice technician.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by

a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet

is properly _ounded.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encounmred,

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 indix,idual electrical outlet which

has a voltage rating that matches the rating

plate.

This prox,ides the best performance and also

prevents overloading house xdring circuits

which could cause a fire hazard from

overheated xdres.

See the Installation Instructions, Electrical

Requirements section for specific electrical

connection requirements.

WARNING!

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS--115-Volt modelsonly

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 necessa U that it be a UL-listed,

14 gauge, 3_wiregrounding type appliance

exmnsion cord ha\,ing a grounding type plug

and outlet and that the electrical rating of the

cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.

ge.com

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS--115-Volt modelson/)/

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of an adapter plug.

However, if you must use an adapte_, where

local codes permit, a temporaryconnectionmay

be made m a properly grounded 2-prong wall

outlet by use of a Ui,-listed adaptor available

at most local hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be

aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet

to prox,ide proper polarity in the connection

of the power cord.

When disconnecting the power cord fiom the

adapte_, 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 veU likely m break

with repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DONOT

USE the air conditioner until a proper ground

has been established.

_ ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

(_ Some models require a 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.

- 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

problemsmconsult a qualified electrician.

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED

Phillips head screwdriver

Flat-blade screwdriver

Pencil Ruler or tape measure

Level Scissors or knife

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. If the TEST button

does not trip or if the RESET button will not stay

engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner
