IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION BEFORE USING

• This air conditioner must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
• Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged.

- Turn the mode control to OFF and unplug your air conditioner before making any repairs.

NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

Extension Cord

Simple line drawing of a coiled rope with a rectangular connector (no text or symbols)

The use of an extension cord is not recommended. However, if an extension cord is required to reach the nearest wall receptacle, use only a UL-listed, 3-wire, grounded, 14 gauge, 15A, 125V appliance extension cord.

CAUTION:

DO NOT use an extension cord with any of the 208/230-volt models.

Adapter Plug

Diagram showing two electrical components connected to a wall-mounted switch (no text or symbols present)

This is a temporary method. UL-listed adapters are available at most hardware stores.

Because most 2-prong outlets are not grounded, we strongly advise against using an adapter plug. However, a temporary connection may be made where local codes permit and if the 2-prong wall outlet is properly grounded.

When you plug the adapter in, make sure the larger prong goes into the larger slot to provide the proper polarity for the power cord.

FOR PROPER GROUNDING:

1 Screw the adapter to the outlet, using the outlet cover screw.
2 Ground the outlet through the house wiring.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, hold the adapter close to the outlet while pulling the plug out. If this is not done, the grounding connector is likely to break with repeated use.

If the grounding connector breaks, DO NOT USE the air conditioner until a proper ground has again been made.

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 COOLER (blue) the indoor air will become cooler. Turn the knob to WARMER (red) and the indoor air will become warmer.

HEAT PUMP MODELS

When the outdoor temperature is lower than 25^ F., heat is provided by the electric heater in the air conditioner instead of by the heat pump.

NOTE:

The electric resistance heater in the 115-volt heat pump model operates during defrost when the outdoor coil temperature is below 36°F. It is not intended to provide full heat capability.

HIGH COOL and LOW COOL provide cooling with different fan speeds.

HIGH HEAT and LOW HEAT provide heating with different fan speeds.

LOW FAN or HIGH FAN provides air circulation and filtering without cooling or heating.

NOTE:

If you move the switch from a cool or heat setting to OFF or to a fan setting, wait at least 3 minutes before switching back to a cool or heat setting. A 3-minute delay is automatically provided on the Heat/Cool and Heat Pump models.

Fan Switch Vent Control

On Heat/Cool models, the fan switch lever is located in a hole through the control panel. To reach it, you need to remove the front grille. Use a small screwdriver to change the setting. Cool only models have a rocker switch on the front of the control box.

When set at CYCLE (down) the fan cycles on and off when cooling or heating. When set at CONT (continuous, up) the fan runs all the time. The unit is shipped in the CONT setting.

The vent control is located behind the front grille. When set at CLOSE, only the air inside the room will be circulated and conditioned. You may adjust it by removing the front grille. When set at OPEN, some inside air is exhausted outside.

NOTE: The vent lever is taped in the CLOSE position when it leaves the factory. Remove the tape before using.

Temperature Limiting Air Direction

Limiting the maximum and minimum settings prevents users from turning the control to the extreme heat or cool positions.

The normal range of the temp control is approximately 60^ F to 85^ F. The control range may be narrowed by the use of the temperature limiting screws located behind the control panel.

Horizontal louvers on the front grille let you control the air direction up and down.

Remove the front grille to adjust the vertical louvers side-to-side to direct the air left or right.

Care & Cleaning

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. It is necessary to remove the chassis from the wall case to inspect them. Dirt build-up occurs on the surface which is not visible from the outside. If they are clogged with dirt or soot they may be professionally steam cleaned, a service available through your GE service outlet.

The front grille can be removed for more thorough cleaning or to make the model and serial numbers accessible.

To remove:

Pull out from the bottom and lift up from the tabs on the top of the case.

To replace:

Hook the tabs on the front grille even with the tabs on the front of the case and snap into place.

Clogged filter—Greatly reduces cooling, heating and airflow.

Turn the air conditioner off before cleaning.

The most important thing you can do to maintain the air conditioner is to clean the filter at least every 30 days. Clogged filters reduce cooling, heating and airflow.

Keeping the filter clean will:

• Decrease cost of operation.
- Save energy.
- Prevent clogged heat exchanger coils.
- Reduce the risk of premature component failure.

To clean the air filter:

• Vacuum off the heavy soil.
- Run water through the filter from the back side.
• Dry thoroughly before replacing.

Carefully pull the tab forward, up and out.

CAUTION:

DO NOT operate the air conditioner without the filter in place. If a filter becomes torn or damaged it should be replaced immediately.

Operating without the filter in place or with a damaged filter will allow dirt and dust to reach the indoor coil and reduce the cooling, heating, airflow and efficiency of the unit.

Replacement filters are available from your salesperson, GE dealer, GE Service and Parts Center or authorized Customer Care ^® servicers.

Installation Instructions

Important Electrical Safety-Read Carefully

Installer: Leave these instructions with the appliance.

Owner: Keep these 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 Code (NEC) 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

We recommend that the 230/208-volt, 60 Hz models be installed on their own single branch circuit supplying 230/208-volt a.c., protected with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker.

Parallel

115V.230/208V.230/208V.

15 Amp. 20 Amp. 15 Amp.

Perpendicular

Tandem

This is recommended for best performance and to prevent overloading house or apartment wiring circuits, which could cause a possible fire hazard from overheating wires.

The 115-volt models require a 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.

Before you begin

AJES and AJHS models have filler panels. Directions begin below.

The installation instructions for AJCS models with accordion curtains begin on page 17.
