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

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified

individual.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

AWARNING! niskofelectricshock.

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.

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 TEST button 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 OFEXTENSION CORDS

RISK OF FIRE. Could cause serious injury or death.

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

DO NOTuse 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 is very 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.

Dirtyfilter--Needs cleaning

Turn the air conditioner off before cleaning.

Themost important thing you can do to maintain the air conditioner isto cleanthe filter at least

every 30 days. A clogged filter reduces cooling, heating and air flow.

Keeping the air filter clean will:

[] Decrease cost of operation, [] Saveenergy.

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

Toclean the air filters:

[] Vacuum off the heavy soil. [] Runwater through the filters.

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

Carefullypullthe tab forward, up and out.

Cloggedfilter--Greatly reducescooling,heating

andairflow.

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

into place.

N0T!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 a damaged filter willallow dirt and dust to reach

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

Replacementfilters are available from your

salesperson,GEdealer, GEServiceand PartsCenter or authorized Customer Cure®servicers.
