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.
These R410A air conditioning systems require
contractors and technicians to use tools, equipment
and safety standards approved for use with this
refrigerant. DO NOT use equipment certified for
R22 refrigerant only.

CAUTION
WARNING
3
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.

signal.
The remote control signal has a range of
up to 20 feet.
Make sure batteries are fresh and installed
correctly as indicated on the remote control.
Remote contains a magnet allowing it to attach
to metal surfaces.
Remote Control
This mode optimizes the cooling power of your air
conditioner, thereby saving you energy. Once the
set point temperature has been reached, the fan
will cycle off to save energy. The fan will cycle back
on periodically to insure all cooling capacity in the
system is used. This mode is the default mode for the
unit. Each time the unit is powered off, it will restart
in Energy Saver mode ON. This includes Delay timer
mode. The first time the unit is turned on, the settings
will be 70° and Low fan. You can adjust the fan
speed and temperature to your personal comfort.
Energy Saver ON³Helps minimize electricity use.
It is normal for the fan to cycle off and then back
on in this mode. This on/off cycle can repeat
multiple times. Because the fan will cycle off, you
may notice a variation in room temperature and
humidity.
Energy Saver OFF³When this mode is not engaged,
the fan will run continuously, and in Cool mode the
compressor will cycle on and off to maintain room
temperature.

Installation
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.

CUIDADOSAMENTE.
Bajo ninguna circunstancia, corte o remueva la tercera
púa (tierra) del cable eléctrico. En pos de la seguridad
personal, este electrodoméstico debe siempre conectarse
a tierra.
NO use un enchufe adaptador con este
electrodoméstico.
El cable eléctrico de este electrodoméstico está
equipado con un enchufe de tres púas (tierra) que
combina con un tomacorriente estándar de tres tomas
de pared para minimizar la posibilidad de una descarga
eléctrica.
El cable de alimentación incluye un dispositivo para
interrupción de corriente. Se incluye un botón de prueba
y de reinicio en el dispositivo. El dispositivo debe ponerse
a prueba periódicamente: primero se presiona el botón
de TEST (prueba) y luego RESET (reinicio) mientras se
encuentra enchufado al tomacorriente. Si el botón
TEST no se dispara o si el botón RESET no queda
enganchado, deje de utilizar el acondicionador de aire y
comuníquese con un técnico calificado.
Pida a un técnico que inspeccione el tomacorriente y el
circuito para cerciorarse de que el tomacorriente está
conectado a tierra de la manera apropiada.
Donde exista un tomacorriente de dos tomas, es su
responsabilidad y obligación personal hacer que dicho
tomacorriente sea reemplazado por uno de tres tomas
con conexión a tierra.
El acondicionador de aire debería siempre estar
conectado a un tomacorriente individual con su circuito
de voltaje correspondiente.
Esto proporciona el mayor rendimiento y además evita
que los circuitos del resto de la casa se sobrecarguen, lo
cual podría causar incendios por el sobrecalentamiento
del cableado.
Ver las Instrucciones de instalación, en la sección
Requisitos Eléctricos para los requisitos específicos de
conexión.
