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 Owners
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.
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.
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.
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical
Requirements section for specific electrical
connection requirements.

WARNING!
Because of potential safety hazards under certain
conditions, we strongly recommend against the
use of an extension cord.
However, if you must use an extension cord,
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 CORDS115-Volt models only

Cool Mode
Use the Cool mode at Low, Med, High or Auto Fan
Speed for cooling. Use the Temperature Increase /
Decrease pads to set the desired temperature
between 62°F and 86°F in F increments.
An electronic thermostat is used to maintain the
room temperature. The compressor will cycle on
and off to keep the room at the set level of comfort.
Set the thermostat at a lower number and the indoor
air will become cooler. Set the thermostat at a higher
number and the indoor air will become warmer.
NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on
while set to a Cool setting or if turned from a fan setting
to a Cool setting, it may take approximately 3 minutes
for the compressor to start and cooling to begin.
Cooling Descriptions
For Normal Cooling—Select the Cool mode and
High or Med fan with a middle set temperature.
For Maximum Cooling—Select the Cool mode
and High fan with a lower set temperature.
For Quieter and Nighttime Cooling—Select the
Cool mode and Low fan with a middle set
temperature.
Fan Mode
Use the Fan Mode at Low, Med or High fan speed to
provide air circulation and filtering without cooling.
Since fan-only settings do not provide cooling,
a Set temperature cannot be entered. The room
temperature will appear in the display.
NOTE: Auto Fan Speed is available in the Fan Mode.
Energy Saver Mode
Controls the fan.
ONThe fan will cycle on and off with the
compressor. This results in wider variations of room
temperature and humidity. Normally used when the
room is unoccupied. NOTE: The fan may continue to run
for a short time after the compressor cycles off.
OFF—The fan runs all the time, while the
compressor cycles on and off.
Set to Auto fan speed for the fan speed to
automatically set to the speed needed to provide
optimum comfort settings with the set temperature.
If the room needs more cooling, the fan speed
will automatically increase. If the room needs less
cooling, the fan speed will automatically decrease.
NOTE: Auto Fan Speed is available in the Fan Mode.

Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and
let the filter dry before replacing it. Do not clean
the filter in a dishwasher.
CAUTION:DO NOT operate the air conditioner
without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce

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 installe
d
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.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION:
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or
remove the third (ground) prong from the
power cord.
