How to Insert the Batteries in the Remote Control
1. Remove the battery cover by rotating it to the unlock
position.
2. Insert a new battery, making sure that the (+) and (-) of
the battery are installed correctly, (+) side up.
3. Reattach the cover by rotating it back into the lock
position.
NOTES:
• Use 1 CR2025 (3 VDC) battery. Do not use rechargeable
batteries.
• Remove the battery from the remote control if the
system is not going to be used for an extended period
of time.
Outdoor Coils
• The coils on the outdoor side of the air conditioner
should be checked regularly.
• If they are clogged with dirt or soot, they may need to
be professionally cleaned, a service available through
GE Appliances service or other service companies.
Front Grille Removal
The front grille can be removed for a more thorough
cleaning.
To remove:
1. Grasp the sides of the front grille by the recessed
areas on each side and tilt forward.
2. Remove the filter by pulling forward and out.
3. Remove the two Phillips head screws located on the
upper corners of the grille.
4. Push inward on each side of the metal chassis cover
about 5” from the bottom. This will release the tabs on
the grille from the metal chassis cover. Pull the bottom
of the grille slightly forward while lifting the grille
upward.
5. Once the grille is released, gently raise it upward to
release the tabs from the top of the metal chassis cover.
6. To release the multi-pin electrical connector from the
user interface, press both sides and gently pull apart.
Reverse the order to re-install the grille.
Air filter
To access the filter, grasp the front grille on both sides at
the recess and tilt forward. Remove the filter by lifting up
and out. Note the filter direction when re-installing.
Wash the filter using liquid dishwashing detergent and
warm water. Rinse the filter thoroughly. Gently shake
excess water from the filter.
Be sure the filter is thoroughly dry before replacing. Or,
instead of washing, you may vacuum the filter until clean.
NOTE: Never use hot water over 104°F (40°C) to clean
the air filter. Never attempt to operate the unit without the
air filter.
Energy Saving Note
In order to reach maximum energy saving and comfort, it
is recommended to use a cover to insulate the unit when
the unit is not in use. The recommended cover size for
the unit is 24.4” x 14.8” x 2.2” (W x H x D).
NOTE: Unplug the unit before installing a cover.
Cabinet
• Be sure to unplug the air conditioner to prevent shock
or fire hazard. The cabinet and front may be dusted
with an oil-free cloth or washed with a cloth dampened
in a solution of warm water and mild liquid dishwashing
detergent. Rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth and wipe
dry.
• Never use harsh cleaners, wax, or polish on the cabinet front.
• Be sure to wring excess water from the cloth before
wiping around the controls. Excess water in or around
the controls may cause damage to the air conditioner.
• Plug in the air conditioner.
