However, if you must use an extension cord,  
it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed,

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.  
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.

Temp Controls  
HIGH COOL, MED COOL and LOW COOL provide  
cooling with different fan speeds.  
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. When you turn the knob to a  
higher number the indoor air will become  
cooler. Turn the knob to a lower number and  
the indoor air will become warmer.  
ips  
LOW FAN or HIGH FAN provides air circulation  
and filtering without cooling.  
NOTE: If you move the switch 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 MED

For Maximum Cooling—Select HIGH COOL with the

When set at CLOSE, only the air inside the room will  
be circulated and conditioned. When set at OPEN,  
some inside air is exhausted outside.

use bleach or abrasives.  
SafeyIructions  
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.  
Air Filter  
OpeagIructions  
The air filter behind the front grille should be  
checked and cleaned at least every 30 days or more  
often if necessary.  
To remove (on some models):  
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and  
let the filter dry before replacing it.  
Grab the tabs on  
the filter and pull  
it up and out.  
CAUTION: DO NOT operate the air conditioner without  
a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce  
performance.  
To remove (on some models):  
Open the inlet grille upward by pulling out the

bottom of the inlet grille.

Preparing to install the air conditioner.  
Read these instructions completely and carefully.  
Before You Begin  
NOTE TO INSTALLER: Leave these instructions with  
CAUTION:  
the air conditioner after installation is completed.  
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or  
remove the third (ground) prong from the  
power cord.  
NOTE TO CONSUMER: Keep this Owner’s Manual  
and Installation Instructions for future use.  
OpeagIructions  
Do not change the plug on the power cord  
of this air conditioner.  
IMPORTANT NOTES:  
For personal safety, this air conditioner must be  
properly grounded.  
Aluminum house wiring may present  
special problems—consult a qualified  
electrician.  
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.  
laIructions  
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.  
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.
