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
When using this portable air conditioner, always follow basic safety precautions, including the following:
■Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
■This portable air conditioner must be properly installed as described in this manual before it is used.
■Never unplug your portable air conditioner by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
■Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed 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 portable air conditioner OFF and unplug it before cleaning.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
■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.
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.
Use a 15 amp time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
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.
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 matching the rating plate.
This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits, which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.

www.GEAppliances.com
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
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.
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS
Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.
However, 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.
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.
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.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT USE the air conditioner until a proper ground has been established.
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 SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Water Full Indicator Light
When the Water Full Indicator Light begins blinking, the unit has reached maximum water collection level.
If water level does not lower in 40 minutes, the unit will power off and it must be manually drained.
1.Unplug the power cord and roll the unit to a drain or outside.
2.Pull out the drain cap from the back bottom edge and allow water to drain from the unit.
3.Replace the drain cap and put the unit back into operation.
NOTE: The unit is designed to automatically evaporate water collected in normal settings. However, in very humid settings, the unit may occasionally need to be drained.

COOL Mode
Use the COOL mode for cooling.
To set the COOL mode:
1.Press the MODE pad until the COOL indicator light is lit.
2.Press the FAN pad to set HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW fan speed.
3.Press 
or 
to set the desired temperature between 64°F and 90°F in 1°F increments.
After settings have been made, the display will change back to show the room temperature.
The temperature control 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 temperature control at a lower number and the indoor air will become cooler. Set the temperature control 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 COOL, it will take approximately 3 minutes for the compressor to start and cooling to begin.
Cooling Descriptions
For Normal Cooling—Select the COOL mode and
HIGH or MEDIUM fan speed with a middle set temperature.
For Maximum Cooling—Select the COOL mode and HIGH fan speed with a lower set temperature.
For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling—Select the COOL mode and LOW fan speed with a middle set temperature.
NOTE: If you switch from a COOL setting to OFF or to a fan setting, wait at least 3 minutes before switching back to a COOL setting.
DRY Mode—Dehumidification
Use the DRY mode to provide dehumidification only. The fan will run at a fixed speed at this setting, so a fan speed cannot be set. Keep windows and doors closed for the best dehumidifying effects. The exhaust hose must be attached to the unit when using the DRY mode.
To set the DRY mode:
•Press the MODE pad until the DRY indicator light is lit.
In the DRY mode, a set temperature will not be displayed. After DRY mode has been set, the display will change back to show the room temperature.
NOTE: If you switch from a DRY setting to OFF or to a fan setting, wait at least 3 minutes before switching back to a DRY setting.
If using the unit in the DRY mode for an extended time:
1.Unplug the power cord.
2.Roll the unit so that its drain nozzle is located over a floor drain and pull out the drain cap from the back bottom edge. A water hose (not included) may also be attached to the nozzle and led to a floor drain. Reconnect the power cord.
3.Press the MODE pad until the DRY indicator light is lit.
FAN Mode
Use the FAN mode to provide air circulation and filtering without cooling.
To set the FAN mode:
•Press the FAN pad until the desired indicator light for HIGH, MEDIUM or LOW fan speed is lit.
Since fan only settings do not provide cooling, a set temperature will not be displayed. After FAN speed has been set, the display will change back to show the room temperature.

1CHOOSE A LOCATION
•Place the air conditioner on a smooth, level floor strong enough to support the unit.
•Allow at least 12 inches (30 cm) of air space on all sides of the unit for good air circulation.
12″ (30 cm)
min.
12″ (30 cm) min.
•Place the unit in an area where the temperature will not fall below 65°F (18°C). The coils can become covered with frost at temperatures below 65°F, which may reduce performance.
NOTE: The portable air conditioner has rollers to aid placement, but it should only be rolled on smooth, flat surfaces. Do not attempt to roll the portable air conditioner on carpet or over objects.
2ATTACH THE EXHAUST ADAPTER TO THE WINDOW SLIDER INSIDE OPENING
•Pull the sliding arm of the window slider out until the oval opening in the slider is completely clear.
•Slide the exhaust adapter inside the end of the slider and snap it into the opening.
3INSTALL RAIN DEFLECTOR TO OUTSIDE OF ADJUSTABLE WINDOW SLIDER
•Remove the appropriate plugs (save in a secure place) from the window slider to prepare for either a double hung window installation or a slider window installation. Line up the holes on the rain deflector and the window slider. Use the bolts, gaskets and nuts to attach the rain deflector onto the window slider.
