Electrical Shock Hazard
• Disconnect power before servicing

• Failure to do so can result in death or electric shock
STEP 2: Determine Location Requirements
• Place the air conditioner on a flat, level surface in a
location that is at least 20" (51 cm) from any wall.
NOTE: A minimum clearance of 20" (51 cm) from
the air conditioner to the wall must be maintained to
ensure proper airflow.
• Keep the air conditioner free of any obstructions
such as drapes, curtains, blinds, etc.
• The hoses should be free of any obstructions.
• Do not place the air conditioner on an unstable
or raised surface because it could fall and cause
damage or injury.
• Do not place the air conditioner in direct sunlight
or near a heat source such as baseboard heaters,
stoves, etc.
• The window panel can be installed in a window with
a minimum 24" (61 cm) to a maximum 52" (132 cm)

Installation Instructions

STEP 3: Installing the Exhaust Hose
Insulating Sleeve
If you previously installed your GE Portable Air
Conditioner, you will need to remove the Window Kit
from the window and then remove the Exhaust Hose
Adapter from the Window Kit. Next, remove the hose
from the back of the AC and slide the fabric insulation
over the hose, starting from the end you just removed
from the back of you AC. It will be easier if you fully
extend the hose before sliding the insulation over the
hose. You can then re-attach the hose to the back of
the AC.
If you have not installed your Portable AC yet, using
the parts that came with your Portable Air Conditioner,
please follow the instructions to assemble the 2 adapters
onto the exhaust hose to make up the exhaust hose
assembly (step 2 of the Installation Instructions
that came with your Portable AC). Slide the fabric
insulation over the hose, starting from the end with
the round AC to hose adapter. It will be easier if you
fully extend the hose before sliding the insulation over
the hose. You can now assemble the exhaust hose
assembly onto the back of the Air Conditioner
