TINSEA380JBRZ 49-7512 07-05 JR Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury. WARNING! Operating Instructions SAFETY PRECAUTIONS I Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual. I This air conditioner must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used. I Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle. I Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end. I Turn the mode control OFF and unplug your air conditioner before making any repairs or cleaning. NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual. I 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. I 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. Installation Instructions Care and Cleaning 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. 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 may include 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. 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. Consumer Support 2 Troubleshooting Tips Safety Instructions www.GEAppliances.com WARNING! USE OF EXTENSION CORDS--115-Volt models only Because of potential safety hazards under CAUTION: certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you must use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL-listed, 14 gauge, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum) and 125 volts. DO NOT use an extension cord with any of the 230/208 volt models. Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS--115-Volt models only Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug. However, if you must use an adapter, where local codes permit, a temporary connection may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at most local hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord. When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one hand while pulling the power cord plug with the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. 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. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Troubleshooting Tips Fan Speeds (Remote control only) Use to set the fan speed at LOW, MED or HIGH. TIMER ON--When the air conditioner is off, it can be set to automatically turn on in half an hour to 24 hours at its previous setting. Each touch will set the time in half hours up to 10 and then in hours up to 24. Remote Control Signal Receiver Consumer Support Remote Control I To ensure proper operation, aim the remote control at the signal receiver on the air conditioner. I Make sure nothing is between the air conditioner and the remote control that could block the signal. I Make sure batteries are fresh and installed correctly--see the Care and Cleaning section. 4 I The remote control signal has a range of up to 21 feet. Safety Instructions www.GEAppliances.com COOL MODE Remote Control 1. Press COOL pad. 2. Press LOW, MED or HI pads to set desired fan speed. 3. Press the INCREASE L / DECREASE M pads to set the desired temperature 60°F to 85°F in 1°F increments. Control Panel 1. Press the MODE pad until the COOL indicator light is lit and the LOW, MED or HI indicator light is lit for the desired fan speed. 2. Press the INCREASE L / DECREASE M pads to set the desired temperature 60°F to 85°F in 1°F increments. A thermostat is used to maintain the room temperature. The compressor will cycle on and off to keep the room at the set level of comfort. Set the thermostat at a lower number and the indoor air will become cooler. Set the thermostat at a higher number and the indoor air will become warmer. NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on while set to COOL, it will take approximately 3 minutes for the compressor to start and cooling to begin. Cooling Descriptions For Normal Cooling--Select the COOL mode and HIGH or MED fan with a middle set temperature. For Maximum Cooling--Select the COOL mode and HIGH fan with a lower set temperature. For Quieter & Nighttime Cooling--Select the COOL mode and LOW fan with a middle set temperature. NOTE: If you switch from a COOL setting to OFF or to a fan setting, wait at least 3 minutes before switching back to a COOL setting. Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Fan Switch The fan switch is located behind the front grille on the control box. Access through a hole in control box. When set at CYCLE (down) the fan cycles on and off. When set at CONT (continuous, up) the fan runs all the time providing a more balanced temperature. The unit is shipped in the CONT setting. FAN MODE Installation Instructions Use the FAN mode to provide air circulation and filtering without cooling. Since fan only settings do not provide cooling, a temperature setting will not be displayed. Remote Control Press FAN pad. Press LOW, MED or HI pads to set desired fan speed. Control Panel Press the MODE pad until the FAN indicator light is lit and the LOW, MED or HI indicator light is lit for the desired fan speed. Vent Control Troubleshooting Tips The vent control is located behind the front grille on the right side of the air discharge area. 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. To open or close the vent: 1. Remove the front grille. 2. Remove the vent card screw. 3. Remove vent card, turn it over and replace it by locating rear hole in card over locating pin inside air discharge and reattaching screw at front. The unit leaves the factory set at the CLOSE position.
