IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL SAFETY INFORMATION
BEFORE USING
• This air conditioner must be
properly installed in accordance
with the Installation Instructions
before it is used.
• Repair or replace immediately
all electric service cords that have
become frayed or otherwise
damaged.
• Turn the mode control to
OFF
and
unplug your air conditioner before
making any repairs.
NOTE:
We strongly recommend
that any servicing be performed by
a qualified individual.
Because most 2-prong outlets are
not grounded, we strongly advise
against using an adapter plug.
However, a temporary connection
may be made where local codes
permit and if the 2-prong wall out-
let is properly grounded.
When you plug the adapter in,
make sure the larger prong goes
into the larger slot to provide the
proper polarity for the power cord.
FOR PROPER GROUNDING:
1 Screw the adapter to the outlet,
using the outlet cover screw.
2 Ground the outlet through the house
wiring.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, hold the
adapter close to the outlet while
pulling the plug out. If this is not
done, the grounding connector is
likely to break with repeated use.
If the grounding connector breaks,
DO NOT USE
the air conditioner
until a proper ground has again
been made.
Adapter Plug
This is a temporary method.
UL-listed adapters are avail-
able at most hardware stores.
The use of an extension cord is not
recommended. However, if an
extension cord is required to reach
the nearest wall receptacle, use only
a UL-listed, 3-wire, grounded, 14
gauge, 15A, 125V appliance exten-
sion cord.
CAUTION:
DO NOT use an extension cord with
any of the 208/230-volt models.

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
COOLER
(blue) the indoor air will become cooler. Turn
the knob to
WARMER
(red) and the indoor air
will become warmer.
HEAT PUMP MODELS
When the outdoor temperature is lower than
25
°F., heat is provided by the electric heater in
the air conditioner instead of by the heat pump.
NOTE:
The electric resistance heater in the 115-volt
heat pump model operates during defrost when
the outdoor coil temperature is below 36°F. It is
not intended to provide full heat capability.
HIGH COOL
and
LOW COOL
provide cooling with
different fan speeds.
HIGH HEAT
and
LOW HEAT
provide heating with
different fan speeds.
LOW FAN
or
HIGH FAN
provides air circulation
and filtering without cooling or heating.
NOTE:
If you move the switch from a cool or heat setting
to OFF or to a fan setting, wait at least 3 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.

The vent control is located behind the front
grille. When set at
CLOSE
, only the air inside the
room will be circulated and conditioned. You
may adjust it by removing the front grille. When
set at

, some inside air is exhausted out-
side.
NOTE:
The vent lever is taped in the
CLOSE
position when it leaves the factory. Remove
the tape before using.

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 approx-
imately 60° F to 85° F. The control range may be
narrowed by the use of the temperature limiting
screws located behind the control panel.
Horizontal louvers on the front grille let you
control the air direction up and down.
Remove the front grille to adjust the vertical
louvers side-to-side to direct the air left or right.

Care & Cleaning
Turn the air conditioner off and
remove the plug from the wall out-
let before cleaning.
To clean, use water and a mild
detergent. Do not use bleach or
abrasives.
Grille and Case
The coils on the outdoor side of
the air conditioner should be
checked regularly. It is necessary to
remove the chassis from the wall
case to inspect them. Dirt build-up
occurs on the surface which is not
visible from the outside. If they are
clogged with dirt or soot they may
be professionally steam cleaned, a
service available through your GE
service outlet.
Outdoor Coils
The front grille can be removed
for more thorough cleaning or
to make the model and serial
numbers accessible.
To remove:
Pull out from the bottom and lift
up from the tabs on the top of the
case.
To replace:
Hook the tabs on the front grille
even with the tabs on the front of
the case and snap into place.

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. Clogged filters reduce cool-
ing, heating and airflow.
Keeping the filter clean will:
• Decrease cost of operation.
• Save energy.
• Prevent clogged heat exchanger
coils.
• Reduce the risk of premature
component failure.
To clean the air filter:
• Vacuum off the heavy soil.
• Run water through the filter
from the back side.
• Dry thoroughly before replacing.
Carefully pull the tab forward, up
and out.
Replace the clean filter by pushing
it back into place.
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate the air conditioner
without the filter in place. If a filter
becomes torn or damaged it should
be replaced immediately.
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.

• 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 Electrical Code (NEC) 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.
We recommend that the 230/208-volt, 60 Hz
models be installed on their own single branch
circuit supplying 230/208-volt a.c., protected
with a time delay fuse or circuit breaker.
PPaarraalllleell PPeerrppeennddiiccuullaarr TTaannddeemm
115V. 230/208V. 230/208V.
15 Amp. 20 Amp. 15Amp.
This is recommended for best performance and
to prevent overloading house or apartment
wiring circuits, which could cause a possible fire
hazard from overheating wires.
The 115-volt models require a 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 possi-
bility 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.

Installation Instructions
Read completely, then follow step-by-step
• These instructions are for a standard double-
hung window. You will need to modify them for
other types of windows.
• The air conditioner can be installed without
the filler panels if needed to fit in a narrow
window. See the window opening dimensions
to the right.
• All supporting parts must be secured to firm
wood, masonry or metal.
• The electrical outlet must be within reach of
the power cord.
A storm window frame will not allow the air
conditioner to tilt towards the outside and will
keep it from draining properly. To adjust for this,
attach a piece of wood to the sill and the stool.
WOOD PIECES:
WIDTH:
2²
LENGTH:
Long enough to fit inside the window
frame.
THICKNESS:
To determine the thickness, place a
