For your safe_ the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric

shock or personal injury.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

iiiiiiiiiiii_iii

Use this appliance only %r its intended

pml)ose as described in this Owner's

Manua].

This air conditioner must be properly

installed in accordance with the

Installation Instructions before it is used.

Ne_er unplug your air conditioner by

pulling on tim power cord. Always glip

plug firefly and pull straight out fiom the

receptacle.

Repair or replace immediately all elecuic

service cords that haxe become fiwed 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 OR=and unplug

your air conditioner before making any

repairs or cleaning.

NOTE:Westronglyrecommendthat anyservicing

beperformedbya qualifiedindividual.

For your safety...do not store or use

combustible materials, gasoline or oflmr

flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity

of this or any other appliance.

All air conditioners contain refi-igerants,

which under federal law must be remoxed

prior to product disposal. If you are getting

rid of an old product with refcigerants,

check with the company handling disposal

about what to do.

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.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped

with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which

mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding)

wall outlet m minimize rite possibility of

electric shock hazard from dlis appliance.

Power cord may include a cmxent

intemq)ter 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 TESTbutton and then the RESErbutton.

If the rESTb, tto, does not trip or if the

RESt'button will not stay engaged,

discontinue use of the air conditioner

and contact a qualified service technician.

Haxe the wall outlet and circuit checked

by a qualified electrician to make sure the

outlet is properly grounded.

'_&'herea 9-prong wall outlet is encountered,

it is your personal responsibility and

obligation to haxe it replaced with a properly

grounded 3-piong wall outlet.

The air conditioner shou]d alwws be plug\g_d

into its own individual electrica] outlet which

has a x_ltag> rating flint matches file rating

plate.

This provides the best perfommnce and also

prevents oxerloading house wiring circuits

which could cause a fire hazard from

oxerheated x_,ires.

See the Installation Instructions, Electrical

Requirements section for specific electrical

connection requirements.

WARNING!

USEOFEXTENSIONCORDS--115-Voltmodelsonly

Because of potential safety hazards under

certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an extension cord.

Howe_; ifvo/l Ill/lSt use all extension cord,

it is absolutely necessal T that it be a UL-listed,

14 gauge, 3-wire grounding type appliance

extension cord having a grounding type plug

and outlet and that file electrical radng of

the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and

125 x_lts.

CAUtiON:

DONOT use an extension cord with any ofthe

230/208 volt models.

USEOFADAPTERPLUGS--115-Voltmodelsonly

Because of potential safety hazards under

certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an adapter plug.

Howex>i; if you must use an adaptei; where

local codes permit, a temporary connection

may be made m a properly grounded

9-prong wall outlet by use of a UiAismd

adaptor available at most local hardware

stores.

When disconnecting die power cord fiom

the adapter; always hold the adaptor in place

with one hand while pulling the power cord

plug with the other hand. If this is not done,

the adapter ground te_ninal is x>tT likely to

break with repeated use.

If the adapter ground temfinal breaks,

DONOTUSEthe air conditioner until a

proper gTound has been established.

The larger slot in file adaptor must be

aligned with the larger slot in die wall

outlet m provide proper polarity in the

connec6on of the power cord.

The most important thing you can do to

maintain the air conditioner is to clean the filter

at least ex'e_T 30 days. A clogged filter reduces

cooling, heating and air flow.

Keepingthe air filler clean will:

• Decrease cost of operation.

Installation

Instructions

Air Conditioner

I _7 Questions? Call 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737) or Visit our Website at: www.GEAppliances.com I

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Read these instructions completely and

carefully.

• IMPORTANT - Savetheseinstructions

for local inspector's use.

• IMPORTANT -Observeallgoverning

codes and ordinances.

• Note to Installer - Be sure to leave these

instructions with the Consumer.

• Note to Consumer - Keep these instructions for

future reference.

• Skill level - Installation of this appliance requires

basic mechanical skills.

• Completion time- Approximately 1 hour

• We recommend that two people install this

product.

• Proper installation is the responsibility of the

installer.

• Product failure due to improper installation

is not covered under the Warranty.

ELECTRICAL

Some modeB require a 115/120-volt a.c.,

60 Hz grounded outbt protected with a

15-amp time deby fuse or circuit breaker.

The 3-prong grounding plug minimizes the possibility

of electric shock hazar& 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.

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.

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.

r_ What brand air conditioner will you be replacing?

What are the dimensions of the wall case

[] currently in use?

[] What isthe model number of the chassis

currently in use? What isthe 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.

[] What type of outdoor grille isused 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.

mnstaJiation mnsttuctions

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.

A storm window frame will not allow the air

conditioner to tilt towards the outside and will

keep it from draining properly. To adjust for this,

attach a piece of wood to the stool.

NOTES:

• On narrow sills, there may not be enough room to

use the lock nut.

• A deep offset sill may require a longer adjusting

bolt than the standard hex head bolt provided.

• On wood sills use the large washer between the

bolt head and the sill. This prevents the bolt fro m

digging into the wood.
