IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
■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.
■Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the 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 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 the unit OFF and unplug your air conditioner before cleaning.
■GE does not support any servicing of the air conditioner. We strongly recommend that you do not attempt to service the air conditioner yourself.
■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.
■If the receptacle does not match the plug, the receptacle must be changed out by a qualified electrician.
■These R410A air conditioning systems require contractors and technicians to use tools, equipment and safety standards approved for use with this refrigerant. DO NOT use equipment certified for R22 refrigerant only.
HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
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.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
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.
Power cord includes 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 RESET button while plugged into the outlet. 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.
2
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
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.
GEAppliances.com
WARNING!
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS—115-Volt models only
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 14-gauge, 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord having a grounding-type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.
CAUTION:
DO NOT use an extension cord with any of the 230/208 volt models.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Do Not Operate in Freezing Outdoor Conditions
This cool-only air conditioner was not designed for freezing outdoor conditions. It must not be used in freezing outdoor conditions.
Remote Control
■To ensure proper operation, aim the remote control at the signal receiver on the air conditioner.
■The remote control signal has a range of up to 20 feet.
Cool Mode
Use the Cool mode at Low, Med, High or Auto Fan Speed for cooling. Use the Temperature Increase ▲ / Decrease ▼ pads to set the desired temperature between 62°F and 86°F in 1°F increments.
An electronic thermostat is used to maintain the room temperature. The compressor will cycle on and off to keep the room at the set level of comfort. Set the thermostat at a lower number and the indoor air will become cooler. Set the thermostat at a higher number and the indoor air will become warmer.
NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on while set to a Cool setting or if turned from a fan setting to a Cool setting, it may take approximately 3 minutes for the compressor to start and cooling to begin.
Energy Saver Mode
Controls the fan.
ON—The fan will cycle on and off with the compressor. This results in wider variations of room temperature and humidity. Normally used when the room is unoccupied. NOTE: The fan may continue to run for a short time after the compressor cycles off.
■Make sure nothing is between the air conditioner and the remote control that could block the signal.
■Make sure batteries are fresh and installed correctly as indicated on the remote control.
Cooling Descriptions
For Normal Cooling—Select the Cool mode and
High or Med fan with a middle set temperature.
For Maximum Cooling—Select the Cool mode and High fan with a lower set temperature.
For Quieter and Nighttime Cooling—Select the
Cool mode and Low fan with a middle set temperature.
OFF—The fan runs all the time, while the compressor cycles on and off.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
• IMPORTANT — Save these
instructions for local inspector’s use.
• IMPORTANT — Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
•Note to Installer – Be sure to leave these instructions with the Consumer.
•Note to Consumer – Keep these instructions for future reference.
•Skill level – Installation of this appliance requires basic mechanical skills.
•Completion time – Approximately 1 hour
•We recommend that two people install this product.
•Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer.
•Product failure due to improper installation is not covered under the Warranty.
•You MUST use all supplied parts and use proper installation procedures as described in these instructions when installing this air conditioner.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Some models require a 115/120-volt AC, 60-Hz grounded outlet protected with a 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 AC,
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.

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.

2 STORM WINDOW REQUIREMENTS
A storm window frame will not allow the air conditioner to tilt toward the outside, and will keep it from draining properly.
To adjust for this, attach a piece of wood to the sill.
WOOD PIECES WIDTH: 2″
LENGTH: Long enough to fit inside the window frame.
THICKNESS: To determine the thickness, place a piece of wood on the sill to make it 1/2″ higher than the top of the storm window frame or the vinyl frame.
Attach securely with nails or screws provided by the installer.
