Using the Air Conditioner - Features

USING THE

AIR CONDITIONER

Additional Features

The “Cool” circuit has an automatic 3 minute delayed
start if the unit is turned off and on quickly. This prevents
overheating of the compressor and possible circuit breaker
tripping. The fan will continue to run during this time.

There is a 2 second delay for the compressor to stop when
selecting fan or heat. This is to cover the possibility of

having to roll through to select another mode.

The control will maintain the set temperature within 1°F
between 62°F and 86°F in cool or heat mode (on some
models).

After a power outage, the unit will remember last setting
and return the unit to that setting when power is restore.

Air Direction

Adjustable louvers control air flow direction.

The louvers will allow you to direct the air flow up or down
and left or right throughout the room as needed until the
desired left/right direction is obtained. Pivot horizontal
louvers until the desired up/down direction is obtained.

Remote Wall Thermostat (Heat/Cool models only)

All heat/cool models are capable of being controlled by a
24 VAC remote wall thermostat. The thermostat control
connection board is located behind a metal cover on the
right side of the metal chassis cover. To open the cover,
remove the Phillips head screw and lift from the slots at the
bottom. To properly connect the wiring from a remote wall
thermostat, follow these steps:

1. Order the 8-pin connector from GE Appliances Service.

Ventilation

To open the ventilation port, remove the adjustable air discharge louvers by gently pulling forward the right end until
it is released from the pivot point. Shift the louvers to the right to release the left end from its pivot point. To open the
ventilation port, pull the lever forward. The lever will lock in place. To replace the air discharge louvers, reverse the
