IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

WARNING! niskofelectricshock

Can cause injury or death. Foryour safety,

the information in this manual must be followed
to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock or

personal injury.

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.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

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

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

Replace immediately all electric service
cords that have become frayed or
otherwise damaged. A damaged power
supply cord must be replaced with a

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

AWARNING! niskofelectricshock.

Can cause injury or death. Thisappliance
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 beproperly 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.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked
by a qualified electrician to make sure

the outlet is properly grounded.
Power 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 TESTbutton and then

the RESETbutton. If the TEST button does
not trip or if the RESETbutton will not

stay engaged, discontinue use of the air
conditioner and contact a qualified service

technician.

,t_WARNING! niskofelectricshock.

Can cause injury or death.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

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 OFFand unplug your air conditioner

before making any repairs or cleaning.

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.

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.

2 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

A WARNING!
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

RISK OF FIRE. Could cause serious injury or
death.

DO NOT use an extension cord with this
Built-in Air Conditioner.

DO NOT use surge protectors or multi-
outlet adaptors with this Built-in Air

Conditioner.

USEOFADAPTER PLUGS

A WARNING! niskorelectricshock.

Can cause injury or death.

We strongly recommend against the use

of an adapter plug.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

If 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.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

The 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.

GEAppliances.com

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

When 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 isvery likely to break with

repeated use.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

If the adapter ground terminal breaks,
DO NOT USE the air conditioner until a

proper ground has been established.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

Attaching 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 SAFETYINFORMATION CAREFULLY.

reducescooling,heating
andairflow.

Turn the air conditioner off before cleaning.
Themost important thing you can do to maintain

the air conditioner is to cleanthe filter at least
every 30 days.A clogged filter reduces cooling,

heating and air flow.
Keeping the air filter clean will:

[] Decreasecost of operation,
[] Saveenergy.

[] Preventclogged heat exchanger coils,
[] Reducethe risk of premature component failure.

Toclean the air filters:
[] Vacuum off the heavy soil.

[] Runwater through thefilters.
[] Drythoroughly before replacing.
Toremove the air filter, on some models:

Carefullypullthe tab forward, up and out.

To remove the air filter, on other models:
Pull it down.

Toreplace the air filter'.
Replacethe clean filter by pushing it back

into place.

N0 T!CE:oonotoperate theair

conditioner without the filter in place. If a filter

becomes torn or damaged it should be replaced
immediately.

Operating without the filter in place or with u
damaged filter willallow dirt and dust to reach

the indoor coil and reduce the cooling, heating,
airflow and efficiency of the unit.
