HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death. This appliance must be properly grounded. 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.
nThe 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.
nHave the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
nPower cord may include 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 and contact a qualified service technician.
nWhere 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.
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.
nThe 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.
nSee the Installation Instructions, Electrical Requirements section for specific electrical connection requirements.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS |
GEAppliances.com
USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS—115-Volt models only
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.
nWe strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.
nIf you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a
UL-listed, 14-gauge, 3-wire groundingtype appliance extension cord having a grounding-type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.
nDO NOT use an extension cord with any of the 230/208-volt models.
USEOFADAPTERPLUGS—115-Volt models only
WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.
nWe strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.
nIf you must use an adapter, where local codes permit, a temporary connection may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at most local hardware stores.
nThe larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.
nWhen disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, 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 very likely to break with repeated use.
nIf the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT USE the air conditioner until a proper ground has been established.
nAttaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, not insulated, and the wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring.
You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
