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.
■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 mode control to OFF and unplug your air conditioner before making any repairs or 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.
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.
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 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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.
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS –115-Volt models only
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, and 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.

TEMP CONTROLS
Your model will have one of the above type controls.
Controls
Mode Controls
HIGH COOL, MED COOL and LOW COOL provide cooling with different fan speeds.
LOW FAN or HIGH FAN provides air circulation and filtering without cooling.
NOTE: If you move the switch from a cool setting to OFF or to a fan setting, wait at least 3 minutes before switching back to a cool setting.
Temp Controls
The temp control is used to maintain the room temperature. The compressor will cycle on and off to keep the room at the same level of comfort. When you turn the knob to a higher number the indoor air will become cooler. Turn the knob to a lower number and the indoor air will become warmer.
Cooling Descriptions
For Normal Cooling—Select HIGH COOL or MED
COOL with the temp control at midpoint.
For Maximum Cooling—Select HIGH COOL with the temp control at the highest number available on your knob.
For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling—Select LOW COOL with the temp control at midpoint.

About the controls on the air conditioner.
Additional controls and important information.
Energy Saver (on some models)
The energy saver switch controls the fan.
ON —The fan and compressor cycle on and off together. This results in wider variations of room temperature and humidity. Normally used when the room is unoccupied.
OFF — The fan runs all the time, while the compressor cycles on and off.
This switch must be set at OFF in order to use the fan settings (on the mode control).
Vent Control
The vent control is located above the control knobs.
When set at CLOSE, only the air inside the room will be circulated and conditioned. When set at OPEN, some inside air is exhausted outside.
To open the vent, push the lever to the right.
To close it, push it to the left.
Air Direction – Side-to-Side
On some models, the side-to-side air direction is adjusted by grasping and moving the inner vertical louvers to the desired position.
CIRCULAIRE (on some models)
For fixed side-to-side air direction, set the Circulaire switch to ON until the desired air direction is obtained, then move it to OFF.
For continuous side-to-side air circulation, set the Circulaire switch to ON and leave it there.
Air Direction – Up and Down
Fingertip pressure on the horizontal louvers adjusts the air direction up or down.

Care and cleaning of the air conditioner.
Grille and Case
Turn the air conditioner off and remove the plug |
To clean, use water and a mild detergent. Do not |
from the wall outlet before cleaning. |
use bleach or abrasives. |
Outdoor Coils
The coils on the outdoor side of the air conditioner should be checked regularly. If they are clogged with dirt or soot they may be professionally steam cleaned, a service available through your GE service outlet.
Air Filter
The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if necessary.
To remove (on some models):
Grab the tab on the filter and pull it to the right.
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry before replacing it.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the air conditioner without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.
To remove (on some models):
1 |
Open the inlet grille upward by pulling out the |
|
bottom of the inlet grille. |
||
|
||
|
Using the tab, pull up slightly on the filter to |
|
2 |

Electrical Requirements
Some models require 115/120-volt a.c., 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 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.
