receptacle.

Replace immediately all electric service
cords that have become frayed or
otherwise damaged. A damaged power

supply cord must be replaced with a new
power supply cord obtained flom the
manufacturer and not repaired. Do not

use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion
damage along its length or at either the

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

Power cord may include a ctliTent
inte[wupter device. A test and reset button is

provided on the plug case. The device should
be tesmd on a periodic basis by first pressing

the TESTbutton and then the RESETbutton.
If file TESTbutton does not trip or if die

RESETbutmn will not stay engaged,
discontinue use of rite air conditioner

and contact a qualified se_Mce technician.
Haxe the wall outlet and circuit checked

1)ya qualified electrician to make sure the

2

outlet is properly grounded.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal req)onsibilitv and
obligation to have it replaced with a i)roperly
grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

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

has a x_ltag> rating that matches the rating
plate.

This provides the best perfommnce and also
prexents 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

ge.com

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

Howe_; ifvo/l Ill/lSt use all extension cord,

it is absolutely necessal T that it be a UL-listed,

14 gauge, 3-wire grounding type appliance

extension cord having a grounding type plug
and outlet and that file electrical radng of

tile cord be 15 ampeies (minimum) and

125 x_lts.

CAUTION:

DONOT use an extension cord with any of the

230/208 voltmodels.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS--115-Voltmodelsonly

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

Howex>i; if you must use an adaptei; where
local codes permit, a temporary connection

may be made m a properly grounded
9-prong wall outlet by use of a UiAismd

adaptor available at most local hardware
stores.

The larger slot in file adaptor must be
aligned with the larger slot in dye wall
outlet m provide proper polarity in the
connec6on of the power cord.

When disconnecting die power cord fiom
the adaptex; always hold the adaptor 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 x>iy likely to
break with repeated use.

If the adapter ground temfinal breaks,
DO IVOTIISE the air conditioner until a
