WARNING!
Foryour safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric
shock or personal injury.
SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
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 OFFand unplug your air
conditioner before cleaning.
GEdoes 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.

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
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.
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 isyour 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.
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 TESTbutton and
then the RESETbutton while plugged into the
outlet. If the TESTbutton does not trip or if the
RESETbutton will not stay engaged, discontinue
use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified
service technician.
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.

• IMPORTANT -Savetheseinstructions
for local inspector's use.
• IMPORTANT - Observe all governing
codes and ordinances.
• Note to Installer- Be sure to leave these
instructions with the Consumer.
• Note to Consumer - Keep these instructions for
future reference.
• Skill level - Installation of this appliance requires
basic mechanical skills.
• Completion time - Approximately 1 hour
. We recommend that two people install this

. Proper installation is the responsibility of the
installer.
Product failure due to improper installation is not
covered under the Warranty.
You MUST use all supplied parts and use proper
installation procedures as described in these
instructions when installing this air conditioner.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
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 isyour
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
of this air conditioner.
Aluminum house wiring may present special
problems--consult a qualified electrician.
