IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

WARNING! niskofelectricshock

Can cause injury or death. Foryour safety,

the information in this manual must be followed

to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock or

personal injury.

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.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

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

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

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 OFFand 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

AWARNING! niskofelectricshock.

Can cause injury or death. This appliance

must be properly grounded. 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.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked

by a qualified electrician to make sure

the outlet is properly grounded.

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 RESETbutton. If the TEST button does

not trip or if the RESETbutton will not

stay engaged, discontinue use of the air

conditioner and contact a qualified service

technician.

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.

,t_WARNING! niskofelectricshock.

Can cause injury or death.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

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.

2 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

GEAppliances.com

A WARNING!

USE OFEXTENSION CORDS

RISK OF FIRE. Could cause serious injury or

death.

DO NOT use an extension cord with this

Built-in Air Conditioner.

DO NOT use surge protectors or multi-

outlet adaptors with this Built-in Air

Conditioner.

USEOFADAPTER PLUGS

A WARNING! niskorelectricshock.

Can cause injury or death.

We strongly recommend against the use

of an adapter plug.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

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.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

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.

iiiiiiiiiiii_i;i

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 isvery likely to break with

repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks,

DO NOT USEthe 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 SAFETYINFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Themost important thing you can do to maintain

the air conditioner isto cleanthe filter at least

every 30 days.A clogged filter reduces cooling,

heating and air flow.

Keeping the air filter clean will:

[] Decreasecost of operation,

[] Saveenergy.

[] Preventclogged heat exchanger coils,

[] Reducethe risk of premature component failure.

Toclean the air filters:

[] Vacuum off the heavy soil.

[] Runwater through the filters.

[] Drythoroughly before replacing.

Toremove the air filter, on some models:

Carefullypull the tab forward, up and out.

Toreplace the air filter'.

Replace the clean filter by pushing it back

into place.

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 willallow dirt and dust to reach
