SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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 you
begin cleaning.
• GE do not support any servicing of the air
conditioner. We strongly recommend that you do not attempt
to service the air conditioner yourself.
• 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.
• This air conditioning system requires 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.
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.
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.
