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.
NOTICE: 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
