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.
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, and 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.

About the controls on the air conditioner.
Features and appearance will vary.
Controls
Mode Controls
HIGH COOL and LOW COOL provide cooling
with different fan speeds.
HIGH HEAT and LOW HEAT provide heating
with different fan speeds.
FAN setting provides air circulation and
filtering without cooling or heating.
NOTE: If you move the mode control from a cool setting
to OFF or to a fan setting, wait at least 3 minutes before
switching back to a cool setting.
Cooling Descriptions
For Normal Cooling —Select HIGH COOL or LOW
COOL with the temp control at midpoint.
For Maximum Cooling —Select HIGH COOL with the
temp control at the highest number available
on your knob.
For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling —Select LOW COOL
with the temp control at midpoint.

For Maximum Heating —Select HIGH HEAT with the
temp control at the lowest number available
on your knob.
For Quieter & Nighttime Heating —Select LOW HEAT
with the temp control at midpoint.
Temp Controls
The temp control is used to maintain the
room temperature. The compressor will cycle
on and off to keep the room at the same level
of comfort.
In the Cooling mode, the higher number
selected, the cooler the indoor room will
become.
In the Heating mode, the lower the number

Additional controls and important information.
Vent Control
When set at CLOSED , only the air inside the room
will be circulated and conditioned. When set at
OPEN , some inside air is exhausted outside.
On some models, the vent control is located above
the control knobs.
On some models, the vent control is located beside
the air louvers.
Air Direction
Two levers on each side of the grille let you
control the air direction left or right.
Fingertip pressure on the tabs adjusts the air
direction up or straight ahead.
Do not adjust the louvers down any lower than
straight out.
Air that is blown down will affect the
thermostat, causing the air conditioner to turn off
before the room is cooled.
Closed
Open
OPEN
CLOSED

Air Filter
The air filter behind the front grille should be
checked and cleaned at least every 30 days or more
often if necessary.
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and
let the filter dry before replacing it.
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the air conditioner without
a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce
performance.
To remove:
Outdoor Coils
The coils on the outdoor side of the air conditioner
should be checked regularly. If they are clogged
with dirt or soot they may be professionally steam
cleaned, a service available through your GE
service outlet.
Grille and Case
Turn the air conditioner off and remove the
plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
To clean, use water and a mild detergent.
Do not use bleach or abrasives.

Preparing to install the air conditioner.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
NOTE TO INSTALLER: Leave these instructions with
the air conditioner after installation is completed.
NOTE TO CONSUMER: Keep this Owner’s Manual
and Installation Instructions for future use.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
For personal safety, this air conditioner must be
properly grounded.
It is important to have the wall outlet and circuit
checked by a qualified electrician if there is any
doubt as to whether a proper ground exists.
Follow National Electric Codes (NEC) and/or local
codes and ordinances.
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.
Before You Begin
Some models require 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.
