Care and Cleaning
Turn the air conditioner off and
remove the plug from the wall
outlet, or remove the fuses, or
turn off the circuit breakers at
the power panel before cleaning.
If you live in an apartment, your
building management may wish to
provide these maintenance
that are necessary for continued
peak operating efficiency of your
air conditioner.
Room Cabinet & Case
Wash the room cabinet and case
finish with mild soap or detergent
and lukewarm water.
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 professionally
steam cleaned, a service available
through your GE service outlet.
Air Filter
The air filter behind the room
cabinet should be washed at least
every 30 days or as often as it needs
cleaning.
Access to the filter is obtained by
removing the room cabinet. See
page 4.
To remove the air filter, grasp the
pull tabs on the front of the filter as
shown and pull toward you until the
three tabs at the top and bottom of
the filter come out of the slots in
the chassis.
Vacuum the filter on the dirty side
or wash it with running water. Run
water through from the cleaner side
of the filter to drive out accumulated
dust and lint. Shake to dry.
Note: The air conditioner should
not be operated without an air
filter. Replacement filters are
available from your GE Dealer,
Factory Service Center or
authorized Customer Care”
servicers.
To
the air filter
after
cleaning, make sure the word
FRONT on the filter is facing you.
Insert the three tabs at the top of the
filter into slots at the top of the
chassis. Press upward and insert
the tabs at the bottom of the filter
into slots at the bottom of the
chassis. Then replace the room
cabinet.
