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.

NOTES:
On narrow sills, there may not be enough room to

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.
