About the controls on the air conditioner. 

Additional controls and important information.

Outdoor Coils

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.

To remove: 

Grasp the tab and gently pull the filter up and out. 
Clean the filter with warm, soapy water. Rinse and

let the filter dry before replacing it.

CAUTION: 

DO NOT operate the air conditioner without a

filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.
