IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS–115-Volt models only
SafeyIructions
Because of potential safety hazards under
CAUTION:
DO NOT use an extension cord with any of
the 230/208 volt models.
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.
OpeagIructions
USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS –115-Volt models only
Because of potential safety hazards under
certain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the use of an adapter plug.
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.
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.
rdCleaing
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO
NOT USE the air conditioner until a proper
ground has been established.
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.
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.

HIGH COOL and LOW COOL provide cooling

The temp control is used to maintain the

the knob to COOLER (blue) the indoor air
will become cooler. Turn the knob to

NOTE: If you move the switch from a cool or heat

minutes before switching back to a cool or heat
setting. A 3-minute delay is automatically provided
on the Heat/Cool and Heat Pump models.
Heat Pump Models
When the outdoor temperature is lower

About the controls on the air conditioner.
Fan Switch
On Heat/Cool models, the fan switch lever is
located in a hole through the control panel. To
reach it, you need to remove the front grille. Use
a small screwdriver to change the setting. Cool
only models have a rocker switch on the front of
the control box.
SafeyIructions
When set at CYCLE (down) the fan cycles on and
off when cooling or heating. When set at CONT
(continuous, up) the fan runs all the time. The
unit is shipped in the CONT setting.

Temperature Limiting
Limiting the maximum and minimum settings
prevents users from turning the control to the
extreme heat or cool positions.
The normal range of the temp control is
approximately 60°F to 85°F. The control range
may be narrowed by the use of the temperature
limiting screws located behind the control panel.

Turn the air conditioner off before cleaning.
The most important thing you can do to maintain
the air conditioner is to clean the filter at least
every 30 days. A clogged filter reduces cooling,
heating and air flow.
OpeagIructions
To replace the air filter:
Keeping the air filter clean will:
■Decrease cost of operation.
■Save energy.
Replace the clean filter by pushing it back
into place.
■Prevent clogged heat exchanger coils.
rdCleaing
■Reduce the risk of premature component
failure.
To clean the air filters:
■Vacuum off the heavy soil.
■Run water through the filters.
■Dry thoroughly before replacing.
CAUTION: Do not operate the air conditioner
without the filter in place. If a filter becomes torn or
damaged it should be replaced immediately.
laIructions
Operating without the filter in place or with a
damaged filter will allow dirt and dust to reach
the indoor coil and reduce the cooling, heating,
airflow and efficiency of the unit.

Replacement filters are available from your
salesperson, GE dealer, GE Service and Parts
Center or authorized Customer Care® servicers.

Preparing to install the air conditioner.
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before You Begin
NOTE TO INSTALLER: Leave these instructions
with the air conditioner after installation is
completed.
CAUTION:
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove
the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
OpeagIructions
NOTE TO CONSUMER: Keep this Owner’s
Manual and Installation Instructions for future
use.
Do not change the plug on the power cord of this
air conditioner.
Aluminum house wiring may present special
problems—consult a qualified electrician.
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.
rdCleaing
Follow National Electric Codes (NEC) and/or
local codes and ordinances.
Electrical Requirements
Some models require 115/120-volt a.c.,
60 Hz grounded outlet protected with
a 15-amp time delay fuse or circuit
breaker.
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.
laIructions
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.

Problem
Possible Causes
What To Do
Air conditioner
does not start

into the outlet.

• Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace
the fuse or reset the breaker.
Power failure.

Airflow is restricted.
• Make sure there are no curtains, blinds or furniture
blocking the front of the air conditioner.

setting provides maximum cooling. The warmest setting
provides maximum heating on models with heat.

• Clean the filter at least every 30 days. See the Care and
cleaning of the air conditioner section.
rdCleaing
The room may have been hot
or cold.
• When the air conditioner is first turned on you need to
allow time for the room to cool down or warm up.

• Check for open furnace floor registers and cold
air returns.
• Set the air conditioner’s vent to the closed position.
• See “Air conditioner freezing up” below.
Cooling coils have iced up.
