A WARNING'!

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

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Use this appliance only %r its intended
puq)ose as described in this Owner's

Manual.

This air conditioner must be properly
installed ira accordance with the

Installation Instructions 1)efore it is used,

iiiiiiiiiiii_iii

Nexer unplug yonr air conditioner 1)y
pulling on fl_e power cord. Always gaiI)
plug fimgv and pull straight out flom the
receptacle.

iiiiiiiiiiii_iii

Repair or replace immediately all elecwic
service cords that haxe become frwed or

otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord

that shows cracks or abrasion damage
along its length or at either the plug or

connector end.

Turn the mode control OFFand unplug

your air conditioner 1)efore making any

repairs or cleaning.

NOTE:Westronglyrecommendthat anyservicing

For your safety...do not store or use

combustible mamrials, g_soline or other
flammable vapot_ or liquids ira the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.

All air conditioners contain refligerants,
which under federal law must be remoxed

prior to product disposal. If you are g>tting
rid of an old product wifl] refl-igerants,
check with the company handling disposal

about what to do.

HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

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.

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

has a xoltage rating that matches the rating
plate.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (grounding) ping which
mares with a standard 3q)rong (grounding)
wall outlet m minimize the possibility of
electric shock hazard flom this appliance.

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

outlet is properly grounded.

Where a 2-prong wall ontlet is encounmred,
it is your personal responsibility and
obligauon m lame it replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

This provides the best performance and also
prevents oxerloading house wiring circuits

which could cause a fire hazard flom
oxerheated wires.

See the Installation Instructions, Electrical

Requirements section for specific electrical

connection requirements.

WARNING!

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS--115-Voltmodelsonly

www.GEAppliances.com

Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an extension cord.

Howe_; ifvon n]nst rise an extension cord,

it is absolutely necessm T flint it be a UL-listed,

14 gauge, 3-wire grounding type appliance

extension cord having a grounding type plug
and outlet and tilat rite electrical rating of

CAUtiON:

DONOT use an extension cord with any of the

230/208 volt models.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS--115-Vo/tmodelsonly

Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug.

Howex>i; if you nmst nse an adaptei; where
local codes permit, a temporary connection
may be made m a properly grounded
2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL-listed
adapter availahle at most local hardware

StoI'es.

The larger slot in tile adaptor mnst be
aligned with the larger slot in tile wall
outlet to provide proper polarity in tile
connection of the power cord.

When disconnecting tile power cord flom

tile adapml; always hold the adapter in place

with one hand while pulling tim power cord

for local inspector's use.

• IMPORTANT - Observeallgoverning

codes and ordinances.

• Note to Installer - Be sure to leave these
instructions with the Consumer.

• Note to Consumer - Keep these instructions for

future reference.

O ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Z 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.

Aluminum house wiring may present special
problems--consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT!

GE strongly recommends the removal of the old
wall case and the installation of a new GE Wall

Case. If you decide to keep the existing wall case,
you may need a kit to ensure proper performance.
If you DO NOT use a kit, you run the risk of poor
performance or product failure. This is not covered
under the terms of the GE warranty.

J-MODEL QUALIFYING QUESTIONS

J-model air conditioners may fit in existing wall cases.
However, they often need a kit to properly adapt the
case to the GE air conditioner. Answer these questions
and see the chart on the next page for the proper kit.

[] What brand air conditioner will you be replacing?

What are the dimensions of the wall case

[] currently in use?

60 Hz grounded outlet protected with a

Some models require a 115/120-volt a.c.,

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 a.c.,

@

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.

[] What isthe model number of the chassis

currently in use?What isthe model (or Type)
number of the wall case currently in use?

Frequently, the J-model adapter kit will apply to
another brand model "series" or specific vintage.
In these cases, you need the chassis model
number and/or the wall case or "type" number

to confirm the use of the correct adapter kit.

[] What type of outdoor grille isused with the

current wall case?

There may be an architectural grille attached to
a wall case to enhance the exterior appearance
of the building. Custom grilles may be used with
J-model wall cases provided a J-model adapter
kit is also used to ensure proper airflow.

arrangements to install a receptacle.
The cord length for the 115-volt models is 72"

to the right and 47" to the left.

For the 230/208-volt models the cord length is

The air conditioner wall case may be installed
with 1/4" min. extension out from the inside

wall or with 1/4" min. extension out from the

outside wall.

The finished sides of the opening should be

structural wall members.
Lintel - Use a lintel in brick veneer and brick

and block types of wall to support the bricks
or blocks above the opening. Do not allow the

wall case to be used in lieu of a lintel.

NOTES:

• On narrow sills, there may not be enough room to

• A deep offset sill may require a longer adjusting
bolt than the standard hex head bolt provided.

• On wood sills use the large washer between the
bolt head and the sill. This prevents the bolt from

digging into the wood.
