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.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT USE the air conditioner until a proper ground has been established. Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, not insulated, and the wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring.

Additional controls and important information. Vent Control (on some models) The vent control is located on the inside of the air louvers in the lower right corner. 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.
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 The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if necessary.
NOTE TO CONSUMER: Keep this Owner’s Manual and Installation Instructions for future use. IMPORTANT NOTES: 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.
