HOWTOCONNECTELECTRICITY

Donot, under any circumstances, cut or remove

For personal safetg this appliance must be

properly grounded,

The power cord ot this applianc( is equipp< d

with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which

mates with a standard 39tong (grounding)

wall outlet to minimize ill< possibility of

electric shock hazard tiom this appliance.

Power cord may includea current

and comac_ a qualifi< d se:vice teclmi(ian.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked

by a qualified electrician to make smc the

Where a 2-1>rong wall oudet is encounmrcd,

it is your p_ rsonal responsibili b" and

Instructions

Air Conditioner

I [] Questions? Call 8OO.GE.CARES (800.432.2737) or Visit our Website at: ge.com

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.

O ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Some 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.

©

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.

[] What brand air conditioner will you be replacing?

What are the dimensions ofthe 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 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.

Installation Instructions

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.

NOTES:

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

use the lock nut.

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 from

digging into the wood.
