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.
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.

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.

⚠ 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.

Remote Control Signal Receiver

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 21 feet.

■ 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.

When the air conditioner is turned on, it will automatically start in the setting last used, except the timer will be cancelled if it was set.

Lights in the display or beside the touch pads on the air conditioner control panel indicate the selected settings.

COOL Mode

Use the COOL mode with HIGH, MED or LOW fan for cooling. Use the Increase ▲ / Decrease ▼ pads to set the desired temperature between 60°F and 90°F in 2°F increments (or between 16°C and 31°C in 1°C increments if the control has been set to use Celsius).

A 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 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 MED fan with a middle set temperature.

For Maximum Cooling—Select the COOL mode and HIGH fan with a lower set temperature.

For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling—Select the COOL mode and LOW fan 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.

FAN Mode Fahrenheit or Celsius

Use the FAN at HIGH, MED or LOW to provide air circulation and filtering without cooling. Since fan only settings do not provide cooling, a temperature setting will not be displayed.

Your control is set to use and display Fahrenheit temperature selections, but you may change it to use and display Celsius selections.

Press and hold the Increase ▲ / Decrease ▼ pads at the same time to switch to °C or °F as desired.

Vent Control

The vent control is located on the inside of the air louvers at the bottom of the vent.

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.

Grille and Case

Turn the air conditioner off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.

To clean, use water and a mild detergent. Do not 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.

Preparing to install the air conditioner.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Before You Begin

NOTE TO INSTALLER: Leave these instructions with the air conditioner after installation is completed.

NOTE TO CONSUMER: Keep this Owner's Manual and Installation Instructions for future use.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

For personal safety, this air conditioner must be properly grounded.

It is important to have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician if there is any doubt as to whether a proper ground exists.

Follow National Electrical Codes (NEC) and/or local codes and ordinances.

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.

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.
