IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your 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.
■ 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 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 the unit
OFF
and unplug your air
conditioner before cleaning.
■ GE does not support any servicing of the air
conditioner. We strongly recommend that
you do not attempt to service the air
conditioner yourself.
■ 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.
■ If the receptacle does not match the plug,
the receptacle must be changed out by a
qualified electrician.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
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
TEST
button
and then the
RESET
button while plugged into
the outlet. 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.
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 is your 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.
This provides the best performance and also
prevents overloading house wiring circuits
which could cause a fire hazard from
overheated wires.

Electrical
Requirements
section for specific electrical
connection requirements.

it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed,
14-gauge, 3-wire grounding-type appliance
extension cord having a grounding-type plug
and outlet and that the electrical rating of the
cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts.
CAUTION:
DO NOT use an extension cord with any of the
230/208 volt models.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS—115-Volt models only

Air Conditioner
Instructions
Some models require a 115/120-volt AC,
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 AC,
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

IMPORTANTES CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ.
VEUILLEZ LIRE TOUTES LES CONSIGNES AVANT UTILISATION.
AVERTISSEMENT !
Pour votre sécurité, les informations contenues dans ce manuel doivent être suivies afin de minimiser
les risques d’incendie, de chocs électriques ou de blessures corporelles.
■ N’utilisez cet appareil qu’aux fins prévues
décrites dans le manuel d’utilisation.
■ Ce climatiseur doit être correctement
installé conformément aux Instructions
d’Installation avant toute utilisation.
■ Ne débranchez jamais votre climatiseur en
tirant sur le cordon d’alimentation. Prenez
toujours fermement la fiche en main et tirez
pour la sortir de la prise.
■ Remplacez immédiatement tout cordon
électrique usé ou endommagé. Un cordon
d’alimentation endommagé doit être
remplacé par un nouveau cordon
d’alimentation obtenu du fabricant. Ne
réparez pas le cordon endommagé. N’utilisez
pas un cordon fissuré ou présentant des
dommages dus aux frottements soit sur
sa longueur ou aux extrémités du côté
de la fiche ou du raccord.
■ Eteignez votre climatiseur et débranchez-le
avant de le nettoyer.
■ GE n’offre pas de service d’entretien pour
les climatiseurs. Nous vous recommandons
de ne pas essayer d’effectuer l’entretien
de votre climatiseur vous-même.
■ Pour votre sécurité, ne stockez pas et
n’utilisez pas de matériaux combustibles,
d’essence ou d’autres vapeurs et liquides
inflammables dans les parages de cet
appareil ou de tout autre appareil.
■ Tous les climatiseurs contiennent des fluides
frigorigènes qui, conformément, à la
législation fédérale doivent être retirés avant
la mise au rebut de l’appareil. Si vous mettez
au rebus un ancien appareil contenant des
fluides frigorigènes, vérifiez la procédure à
suivre auprès de la compagnie responsable
de l’élimination.
■ Si la prise de courant est d’un format
différent de la fiche, cette prise doit être
changée par un électricien qualifié.
CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ
Ne coupez pas ou n’enlevez pas, sous aucun
prétexte, la troisième broche de mise à la terre
du cordon d’alimentation. Pour des raisons
de sécurité, cet appareil doit être correctement
mis à la terre.
N’utilisez PAS d’adaptateur avec cet appareil.
Le cordon d’alimentation de cet appareil
est équipé d’une fiche à trois broches (pour
une mise à la terre) qui s’adapte à la prise
de courant standard à 3 broches (pour une
mise à la terre) pour minimiser les risques
de chocs électriques par cet appareil.
Le cordon d’alimentation est équipé d’un
dispositif d’interruption du courant. Un
bouton d’essai et de réenclenchement est
fourni sur le boîtier de la prise. Vous devez
tester le mécanisme régulièrement en
appuyant d’abord sur le bouton
TEST
(essai)
puis sur le bouton
RESET
(réenclenchement)
lorsque l’appareil est branché. Si le bouton
TEST
(essai) ne bascule pas ou si le bouton
RESET
(réenclenchement) ne reste pas
enclenché, cessez d’utiliser votre climatiseur
et appelez un technicien de service qualifié.
Faites vérifier la prise murale et le circuit
électrique par un électricien qualifié pour
s’assurer que le système est correctement
mis à la terre.
Dans le cas d’une prise biphasée,
l’installateur a la responsabilité et l’obligation
de la remplacer par une prise triphasée
correctement mise à la terre.
Le climatiseur doit toujours être branché
à sa propre prise électrique d’une tension
nominale correspondant à celle indiquée
sur sa plaque signalétique.
Ceci permet d’obtenir un meilleur rendement
du climatiseur et évite de surcharger les circuits
électriques du domicile qui risque
d’occasionner un incendie en surchauffant.

exigences de branchements électriques
particuliers.
