SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of
fire, electric shock or personal injury.
Ŷ8VHWKLVDSSOLDQFHRQO\IRULWVLQWHQGHGSXUSRVHDV
described in this Owner’s Manual.
ŶThis air conditioner must be properly installed in accordance
with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
ŶNever unplug your air conditioner by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight
out from the receptacle.
Ŷ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.
ŶTurn the unit OFF and unplug your air conditioner
before cleaning.
ŶGE Appliances does not support any servicing of the
air conditioner. We strongly recommend that you do
not attempt to service the air conditioner yourself.
Ŷ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.
Ŷ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.
ŶIf the receptacle does not match the plug, the receptacle
must be changed out by a qualified electrician.
Ŷ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.

with this Window Air Conditioner.
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.
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.

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.
These 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.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
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

Contrate a un electricista calificado para que controle el
tomacorriente y el circuito eléctrico para asegurar que el
enchufe esté correctamente conectado a tierra.
En caso de contar con un tomacorriente de pared de 2
cables, es su responsabilidad y obligación reemplazarlo
por un tomacorriente de pared de 3 cables correctamente
conectado a tierra.
El acondicionador de aire debería estar siempre conectado a
un enchufe específico con un índice de voltaje equivalente al
que figura en su etiqueta de características técnicas.
Esto garantiza el mejor funcionamiento y además previene la
sobrecarga de los circuitos del hogar, lo cual podría ocasionar
riesgos de incendio debido al recalentamiento de cables.

eléctrica, consulte las Instruccione
