IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE

WARNING For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.

Ŷ 8VH WKLV DSSOLDQFH RQO\ IRU LWV LQWHQGHG SXUSRVH DV described in this Owner’s Manual.

Ŷ This air conditioner must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.

Ŷ Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.

Ŷ 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.

Ŷ Turn the unit OFF and unplug your air conditioner before cleaning.

Ŷ GE Appliances does not support any servicing of the air conditioner. We strongly recommend that you do not attempt to service the air conditioner yourself.

Ŷ 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.

Ŷ 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.

Ŷ If the receptacle does not match the plug, the receptacle must be changed out by a qualified electrician.

Ŷ 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 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.
