SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 OFF and unplug your air conditioner before
cleaning.
GE does not support any servicing of the air conditioner.
We strongly recommend that you do not attempt to
service the air conditioner yourself.

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.

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.
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.
