IMPORTANT SAFETYINFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

Foryour safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric

shock or personal injury.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

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. GEdoes 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.

Allair 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 u

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.

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 o 3-prong (grounding) plug which mutes with u 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 o periodic basis by first pressing the TESTbutton and then the RESETbutton while plugged into the outlet. If the TESTbutton does not trip or if the RESETbutton will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact o 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 o properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

The air conditioner should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has

o voltage rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also

prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause o fire hazard from overheated wires.

See the Installation Instructions, Electrical Requirements section for specific electrical

connection requirements.
