O ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

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 ofthe 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 is the 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 is used 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.

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.
