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.

n Use this appliance only for its intended

purpose as described in this Owner’s

Manual.

n This air conditioner must be properly

installed in accordance with the Installation

Instructions before it is used.

n Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling

on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly

and pull straight out from the receptacle.

n 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.

n Turn the unit OFF and unplug your air

conditioner before cleaning.

n GE does not support any servicing of the

air conditioner. We strongly recommend

that you do not attempt to service the air

conditioner yourself.

n 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.

n 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.

n If the receptacle does not match the plug,

the receptacle must be changed out by a

qualified electrician.

n 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.

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.

Through-the-Wall Installation Instructions—Optional

The case may be installed through-the-wall

in both existing and new construction.

Read completely, then follow step-by-step.

NOTE: Obtain all materials locally for

mounting the air conditioner through-

the-wall.

IMPORTANT

Through-the-wall installation is not

appropriate if any of the side or top louvers

in the case will be obstructed by the wall.

All side and top louvers in the case must

project on the outdoor side of the wall.

The room side of the case must project

into the room far enough to maximize the

balance of the unit.

The case must be installed level from side-

to-side and with a slight tilt from front to

rear. Use a level; no more than a 1/2 bubble

will be the correct case slant to the outside.

Lintel angle is required to support bricks or

blocks above opening.

Flashing is required and should extend the

length of the opening to ensure no inside

cavity leakage occurs.

Remove the air conditioner from the case.

For specific instruction, refer to the Window

Installation Instructions.

Make certain that a wall receptacle is

available close to the hole location or make

arrangements to install a receptacle.

Place the case in the wall opening and

place wood support strips between the case

bottom and the flashing on both sides of the

bottom rail. They should be the same height

as the bottom rail and the same length as

the wall opening.

1

B

FINISH THE WALL OPENING

Caulk all four sides on the outdoor side of

the case to prevent moisture from getting

through to the interior wall. Use of flashing

(drip rail) will further prevent water from

dripping inside the wall and down the

outside of the building.

Place the air conditioner into the case.

For specific instruction, refer to the Window

Installation Instructions.

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 N’utilisez cet appareil qu’aux fins prévues

décrites dans le manuel d’utilisation.

n Ce climatiseur doit être correctement

installé conformément aux Instructions

d’Installation avant toute utilisation.

n 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.

n 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.

n Eteignez votre climatiseur et débranchez-le

avant de le nettoyer.

n 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.

n 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.

n 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.

n Si la prise de courant est d’un format

différent de la fiche, cette prise doit être

changée par un électricien qualifié.

n Ces systèmes de climatisation R410A

nécessitent que les entrepreneurs et

techniciens adoptent des outils, du matériel

et des normes de sécurité approuvés pour

utilisation avec ce réfrigérant. N’utilisez pas

de matériel certifié pour le réfrigérant R22

uniquement.

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.

la section Exigences Electriques pour les

exigences de branchements électriques

particuliers.
