ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING!
Risk ofelectric shock. Can
cause injury
or death. This appliance
must be
properly
grounded.
Where a 2-prong
wall outlet
is encountered,
it is your responsibility
and
obligation
to have it replaced
with a properly
grounded
3-prong
outlet.
Some 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 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.
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.

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 possiblefire hazard from
overheating wires.
IMPORTANT!
GE strongly recommends the removal of the old wall case
and the installation of a new GEWall Case. If you decide to
keep the existing wall case, you may need a kit to ensure
proper performance. If you DO NOT use a kit, you run the
risk of poor performance or product failure. This is not
covered under the terms of the GE warranty.
J-MODEL QUALIFYING QUESTIONS
J-model air conditioners may fit in existing wall cases.
However, they often need a kit to properly adapt the case
to the GE air conditioner. Answer these questions and see
the chart on the next page for the proper kit.
