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.
DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
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.
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 isyour 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.
Power cord includes 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 TESTbutton and
then the RESETbutton while plugged into the
outlet. If the TESTbutton does not trip or if the
RESETbutton will not stay engaged, discontinue
use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified
service technician.
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.

Through-the-Wall Installation Instructions--Optional
The case may be installed through-the-wall
in both existing and new construction.
Read completely, then follow step-by-step.
NOTE: Obtain all materials locally for
mounting the air conditioner through-
the-wall.
ITI IMPORTANT (cont.)
FD1Secure with 14 wood screws anchored at
least an inch into the wall support structure.
NOTE: Drill pilot holes, if necessary, for
proper installation. If the frame is oversized,
use shims to prevent case distortion.
ITI IMPORTANT
Through-the-wall installation is not
appropriate if any of the side or top louvers
in the case will be obstructed by the wall.
All side and top louvers in the case must
project on the outdoor side of the wall.
The room side of the case must project
into the room far enough to maximize the
balance of the unit.
The case must be installed level from side-
to-side and with a slight tilt from front to
rear. Use a level; no more than a 1/2 bubble
will be the correct case slant to the outside.
Lintel angle is required to support bricks or
blocks above opening.
Flashing is required and should extend the
length of the opening to ensure no inside
cavity leakage occurs.
_-1 Remove the air conditioner from the case.
For specific instruction, refer to the Window
Installation Instructions.
[_] Make certain that a wall receptacle is
available close to the hole location or make
arrangements to install a receptacle.
[] Place the case in the wall opening and
place wood support strips between the case
bottom and the flashing on both sides of the
bottom rail. They should be the same height
as the bottom rail and the same length as
the wall openin.q.
13
FINISH THE WALL OPENING
[_] Caulk all four sides on the outdoor side of
the case to prevent moisture from getting
through to the interior wall. Use of flashing
(drip rail) will further prevent water from
dripping inside the wall and down the
outside of the building.

se hayan dahado de alguna otra manera.
Un cable de corriente dahado nodebe
repararse,sino que debe setsustituido por
uno nuevoque seadquiera delfabricante.
No use uncable el6ctricoque muestre
evidenciasdedeterioro, o dahos de
abrasi6n en susuperficie en alguno desus
extremos.
Apague launidad y desenchufe su
acondicionador de aire antes de limpiar.
GE no est(_no apoya que se le proporcione
ning0n servicio al acondicionador de aire.
Vehementemente recomendamos que
usted nointente proporcionar servicioal
acondicionador de aire usted mismo.

COMO CONECTARLA ELECTRIClDAD
Bajo ninguna circunstancia, corte o remueva la
tercera pOa (tierra) del cable el6ctrico. En pos
de la seguridad personal, este electrodom6stico
debe siempre conectarse a tierra.
NO use un enchufe adaptador con este
electrodom_stico.
Elcable el6ctrico de este electrodom6stico estc_
equipado con un enchufe de tres p0as (tierra)
que combina con un tomacorriente estc_ndar
de tres tomas de pared para minimizar la
posibilidad de una descarga el6ctrica.
Elcable de alimentaci6n incluye un
dispositivo para interrupci6n de corriente.
Se incluye un bot6n de prueba y de reinicio
en el dispositivo. Eldispositivo debe ponerse
a prueba peri6dicamente: primero se presiona
el bot6n de TEST(prueba) y luego RESET
(reinicioJ mientras se encuentra enchufado al
tomacorriente. Si el bot6n TESTno se dispara
o si el bot6n RESETno queda enganchado,
deje de utilizar el acondicionador de aire y
comuniquese con un t6cnico calificado.
Pidaa un t6cnico que inspeccioneel
tomacorriente y el circuito para cerciorarse
de que el tomacorriente estc]conectado a
tierra de la manera apropiada.
Donde exista un tomacorriente de dos
tomas, es su responsabilidad y obligaci6n
personal hacer que dicho tomacorriente
sea reemplazado pot uno de tres tomas
con conexi6n a tierra.
Elacondicionador de aire deberia siempre estar
conectado a un tomacorriente individual con su
circuito devoltaje correspondiente.
Esto proporciona el mayor rendimiento y
ademhs evita que los circuitos del resto de
la casa se sobrecarguen, Io cual podria causar
incendios por el sobrecalentamiento del
cableado.
Ver las Instrucciones de instalaci6n, en la
secci6n Requisitos El@ctricos para los requisitos
especificos de conexi6n.
