ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

WARNING!
Risk of electric 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.
Air Conditioner
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS (cont.)
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 possible fire hazard from
overheating wires.
IMPORTANT!
GE strongly recommends the removal of the old wall case
and the installation of a new GE Wall 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.
A What brand air conditioner will you be replacing?
What are the dimensions of the wall case currently
B
in use?
What is the model number of the chassis
C
currently in use? What is the model (or Type) number
of the wall case currently in use?
Frequently, the J-model adapter kit will apply to another
brand model "series" or specific vintage. In these cases,
you need the chassis model number and/or the wall
case or "type" number to confirm the use of the correct
adapter kit.
D What type of outdoor grille is used with the current
wall case?
There may be an architectural grille attached to a wall
case to enhance the exterior appearance of the building.
Custom grilles may be used with J-model wall cases
provided a J-model adapter kit is also used to ensure
proper airflow.
