Care and cleaning of the air conditioner.
To maintain optimum performance, clean the filter at least every 30 days.
Air Filter
Turn the air conditioner off before cleaning.
The most important thing you can do to maintain
the air conditioner is to clean the filter at least
every 30 days. A clogged filter reduces cooling,
heating and air flow.
Keeping the air filter clean will:
■ Decrease cost of operation.
■ Save energy.
■ Prevent clogged heat exchanger coils.
■ Reduce the risk of premature component
failure.
To clean the air filters:
■ Vacuum off the heavy soil.
■ Run water through the filters.
■ Dry thoroughly before replacing.
To remove the air filter, on some models:
Carefully pull the tab forward, up and out.
To remove the air filter, on other models:
Pull it down.
To replace the air filter:
Replace the clean filter by pushing it back
into place.
CAUTION: Do not operate the air conditioner
without the filter in place. If a filter becomes torn or
damaged it should be replaced immediately.
Operating without the filter in place or with a
damaged filter will allow dirt and dust to reach
the indoor coil and reduce the cooling, heating,
airflow and efficiency of the unit.
Replacement filters are available from your
salesperson, GE dealer, GE Service and Parts
Center or authorized Customer Care® servicers.
