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, 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.
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 |
2 |
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.

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.
The remote control signal has a range of up to 20 feet.
Make sure nothing is between the air conditioner and the remote control that could block the signal.
Make sure battery is fresh and installed correctly as indicated on the remote control.
Cool Mode
Use the Cool mode at Low, Med, High or Auto Speed for cooling. Use the Temperature Increase + / Decrease – 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 WKH Cool 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
Energy Saver mode conserves energy by optimizing the cooling power of your air conditioner. Once the desired temperature is reached, the fan will turn off to save energy.
The fan will periodically turn back on to ensure that all cooling capacity in the unit is used. This is the default setting for all Energy Star air conditioners, and they are intended
to operate this way. In addition, each time the unit is powered down, it will re-start in Energy Saver mode. This includes if the unit turns back on by the Time Delay On/Off mode.
When Energy Saver mode is ON:
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.
When Energy Saver mode is OFF:
The fan will run continuously, and in Cool mode the compressor will cycle on and off to maintain room temperature.
To override Energy Saver mode, toggle the “Mode” button from “Energy Saver” to “Fan” or “Cool” settings.

Care and cleaning of the air conditioner.
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.
Air Filter
The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if necessary.
To remove:
Open the inlet grille by pulling downward on the tabs at the top upper corners of the inlet grille until the grille is in a 45º position. Remove the filter.
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry before replacing it. Do not clean the filter in a dishwasher.
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 cleaned.

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.
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.

The air conditioner can be installed without the side curtain panels if needed to fit in a narrow window. See the window opening dimensions.
All supporting parts must be secured to firm wood, masonry or metal.
The electrical outlet must be within reach of the power cord.
Follow the dimensions in the illustration for your model.
19 1/8”
29 1/4” - 40” 
(With side curtain panels)
2 STORM WINDOW REQUIREMENTS
A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to tilt toward the outside, and will keep it from draining properly. To adjust for this, attach a piece of wood to the sill.
WOOD PIECES WIDTH: 2s
LENGTH: Long enough to fit inside the window frame.
THICKNESS: To determine the thickness, place a piece of wood on the sill to make it 1/2s higher than the top of the storm window frame or the vinyl frame.
Attach securely with nails or screws provided by the installer.
