Care and Cleaning
Cleaning your
air conditioner
Turn air conditioner off and
remove the plug from the wall
outlet before cleaning.
Grille & Cabinet
Wipe both sides of grille with a
clean cloth lightly dampened with
mild liquid
detergent,
or clean with a vacuum cleaner
brush. Be careful not to force the
movable louvers out of position.
Other areas behind the grille may
be wiped or vacuumed, taking care
not to damage the coil fins.
Wash cabinet with mild soap or
detergent and lukewarm water.
Never use strong chemicals,
solvents or bleaching agents.
Condenser Coils
These coils on the weather side
of the unit should be checked
periodically and cleaned if clogged
with dirt or soot from the atmosphere.
If extremely soiled, they may need
to be steam
a service
through your General Electric service
outlet.
Air Filter
The air filter behind the front grille
should be checked and cleaned at
least every 30 days or as often as it
needs cleaning.
To remove the filter:
Grasp the tab at the bottom
side
of the unit and pull downward.
Clean the filter with a vacuum
cleaner to remove light dust. Wash
the filter in lukewarm, soapy water
and rinse in clear water to remove
sticky dust.
When replacing the filter, be sure
the word FRONT is facing you as
you slide the filter back into place.
Front Grille Removal
If your air conditioner is mounted
flush inside the room or if the
window sill extends farther into the
room than the chassis, it may be
necessary to remove the front grille
before the filter can be removed.
1. Grasp the bottom of the
and swing it toward you about
degrees.
2. Slide the grille upward to
disengage it from catches on the
upper part of the chassis.
The air filter can now be removed
from the grille—grasp the tab on
the filter and pull.
After cleaning, replace the air filter
and grille, hooking the top of the
grille onto the top of the cabinet
and pushing the bottom of the grille
in until it snaps into place.
