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.
Replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the manufacturer and not repaired. 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 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.

Power cord may include a current interrupter device. A test and reset button is provided on the plug case. The device should be tested on a periodic basis by first pressing the TEST button and then the RESET button. If the TEST button does not trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician.

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, 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.

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

To remove:

1.Pull the filter out.
2.Remove the two grille screws.

On some models

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

To replace:

I hook the tabs on the front grille even with the tabs on the case and snap into place.

Replace the screws and filter.

To maintain optimum performance, clean the filter at least every 30 days.

Air Filter

Dirty filter-Needs cleaning 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. A clogged filter reduces cooling, heating and air flow.

Keeping the air 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 filters:

Vacuum off the heavy soil.
■Run water through the filters.
Dry thoroughly before replacing.

To remove the air filter, on some models:

Carefully pull the tab forward, up and out.

To remove the air filter, on other models:

Pull it down.

To replace the air filter:

Replace the clean filter by pushing it back into place.

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.

Do not change the plug on the power cord of this air conditioner.

Aluminum house wiring may present special problems—consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT!

GE strongly recommends the removal of the old wall case and the installation of a new GE Wall Case. If you decide to keep the existing wall case, you may need a kit to ensure proper performance. If you DO NOT use a kit, you run the risk of poor performance or product failure. This is not covered under the terms of the GE warranty.

J-MODEL QUALIFYING QUESTIONS

J-model air conditioners may fit in existing wall cases. However, they often need a kit to properly adapt the case to the GE air conditioner. Answer these questions and see the chart on the next page for the proper kit.

A What brand air conditioner will you be replacing?
B What are the dimensions of the wall case currently in use?
What is the model number of the chassis currently in use? What is the model (or Type) number of the wall case currently in use?

Frequently, the J-model adapter kit will apply to another brand model "series" or specific vintage. In these cases, you need the chassis model number and/or the wall case or "type" number to confirm the use of the correct adapter kit.

D What type of outdoor grille is used with the current wall case?

There may be an architectural grille attached to a wall case to enhance the exterior appearance of the building. Custom grilles may be used with J-model wall cases provided a J-model adapter kit is also used to ensure proper airflow.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Power cord may include a current interrupter device. A test and reset button is provided on the plug case. The device should be tested on a periodic basis by first pressing the TEST button

and then the RESET button. If the TEST button does not trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician.
