on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly
and pull straight out from the receptacle.

N Repair or replace immediamly all elecUic

service cords that have become fi'ayed or
othelwise damaged. Do not use a cord that

shows cracks or abiasion damage along its
length or at either the plug or connector end.

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.

NOTE:We strongly recommend that any

servicing be pelfonned by a qualified
individual.

N For your safety...do not store or use

combustible mamrials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors or liquids in the vidnity

of this or any other appliance.

The air conditioner should always be
plugged into its own individual elecuJcal
outlet which has a voltage rating that matches

the rating plate.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped
with a 3-prong (,grounding) plugwhich mates
with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall
outlet m minimize the possibility of electric
shock hazard fi'om this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and drcuit checked by a
qualified elecu'ician m make sure the oudet is
properly ,grounded.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encounmred,
it is yore" personal responsibility and obligation

m have it replaced with a properly gq'ounded
?_-prong wall outlet.

This provides the best peffommnce and also
prevents overloading house wiling circuits

which could cause a fire hazard fi'om

ZLWARNING!

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS-775-Voltmodelsonly

www.GEAppliances.com

Because ofpotential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the

use of an extension cord.

However, ifyou must use an extension cord,
it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed,

14 gauge, 3-wire gwounding type appliance
extension cord having a grounding type plug
and outlet and that tile electrical rating of tile
cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.

CAUtiON:

DO NOT usean extension cord with any ofthe
230/208 volt models.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS-715-Voltmodelsonly

Because of potential safety hazards under certain

conditions, we strongly recommend against the use

of an adapter plug.

However, ifyou must use an adapter, where
local codes permit, a temporaryconnectionmay

be made m a properly gq'ounded 2-prong wall
outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at

most local hardware stores.

The lalger slot in the adapter must be aligned
with tile larger slot in tile wall outlet m provide

proper polarity in the connection of tile power
cord.

When disconnecting tile power cord fl'om 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 teirninal is very likely m break

with repeated use.

If tile adapter gq'ound terminal breaks,
DO NOT USEtile air conditioner until a

proper ,ground has been established.
