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.

■ Repair or replace immediately all electric

service cords that have become frayed or

otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord

that shows cracks or abrasion damage

along its length or at either the plug or

connector end.

■ Turn the mode control OFF and 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.

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.

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 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 CORDS—115-Volt models only

Because of potential safety hazards under

certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an adapter plug.

However, 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.

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.

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 is very likely to

break with repeated use.

If the adapter ground terminal breaks,

DO NOT USE the 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.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS—115-Volt models only

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Installation Instructions Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support

To maintain optimum performance, clean the filter at least every 30 days.

Air Filter

Turn the air conditioner off before cleaning.

The most important thing you can do to

maintain the air conditioner is to clean the filter

at least every 30 days. A clogged filter reduces

cooling, heating and air flow.

Keeping the air filter clean will:

■ Decrease cost of operation.

■ Save energy.

■ Prevent clogged heat exchanger coils.

■ Reduce the risk of premature component

failure.

To clean the air filters:

■ Vacuum off the heavy soil.

■ Run water through the filters.

■ Dry thoroughly before replacing.

To remove the air filter, on some models:

Carefully pull the tab forward, up and out.

To remove the air filter, on other models:

Pull it down.

To replace the air filter:

Replace the clean filter by pushing it back

into place.

CAUTION: Do not operate the air

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 will allow dirt and dust to reach

the indoor coil and reduce the cooling, heating,

airflow and efficiency of the unit.

Replacement filters are available from your

salesperson, GE dealer, GE Service and Parts

Center or authorized Customer Care

®

servicers.

Dirty filter—Needs cleaning Clogged filter—Greatly

reduces cooling, heating

and airflow.

Installation

Air Conditioner

Instructions

Some models require a 115/120-volt a.c.,

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 a.c.,

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.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

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

of this air conditioner.

Aluminum house wiring may present special

problems—consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT!

GE strongly recommends the removal of the old wall

case and the installation of a new GE Wall Case. If

you decide to keep the existing wall case, you may

need a kit to ensure proper performance. If you DO

NOT use a kit, you run the risk of poor performance

or product failure. This is not covered under the

terms of the GE warranty.

J-MODEL QUALIFYING QUESTIONS

J-model air conditioners may fit in existing wall

cases. However, they often need a kit to properly

adapt the case to the GE air conditioner. Answer

these questions and see the chart on the next page

for the proper kit.

What brand air conditioner will you be

replacing?

What are the dimensions of the wall case

currently in use?

What is the model number of the chassis

currently in use? What is the model (or Type)

number of the wall case currently in use?

Frequently, the J-model adapter kit will apply to

another brand model “series” or specific vintage.

In these cases, you need the chassis model

number and/or the wall case or “type” number

to confirm the use of the correct adapter kit.

What type of outdoor grille is used with the

current wall case?

There may be an architectural grille attached to

a wall case to enhance the exterior appearance

of the building. Custom grilles may be used with

J-model wall cases provided a J-model adapter

kit is also used to ensure proper airflow.
