purpose as described in this Owner's
Hanual.
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

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.

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.

Energy Saver Mode (Modo de ahorro de energiaÁ
Elmodo EnergySaver(Ahorro de Energia)conserva
la energia al optimizar la potencia de enfriamiento
de su acondicionador de aire.Una vezalcanzada la
temperatura deseada,el ventilador se apagard para
ahorrar energia.
Elventilador sevolver@a encender de forma
peri6dica, a fin de asegurar que la capacidad
de enfriamiento de la unidad sea usada. Esta
esla configuraci6n por omisi6n de todos los
acondicionadores de aire EnergyStar,y est6 previsto
que funcionen de esta manera. Ademc_s,cada vez
que la unidad esapagada, se reiniciarc_en el modo
