Installing a J-Model in an existing wall case.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

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 below for the proper kit.

AWhat brand air conditioner will you be replacing?

BWhat are the dimensions of the wall case currently in use?

CWhat is the model number of the chassis 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.

DWhat 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.
