Freezing up
If you notice that your air conditioner is not cooling as it should, it may be
that ice has formed on the cooling coils. The ice blocks air flow and stops
the unit from cooling the room. This “freezing up” is a temporary condition
that most often occurs at night when the Thermostat is set at a higher
number and the Selector is set on LOW COOL.
To correct the condition, set the Selector at HIGH FAN or HIGH COOL

CAm Am CLEAN~G
User Maintenance Instructions
Turn air conditioner off and remove plug from wall outlet
before cleaning.
Grille & Cabinet Outdoor Coil
Wipe front grille with a clean cloth lightly dampened This coil on the outdoor side of the unit should be
with mild
liquid dishwashing detergent. Wash cabinet checked periodically and cleaned if clogged with dirt
with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water. or soot from the atmosphere. If extremely soiled, it
may need to be steam cleaned, a service available
through your GE service outlet.
Air Filter
The air filter behind the inlet grille
should be washed at least every 30
days or as often as it needs cleaning.
To remove the filter, grasp the
upper part of the inlet baffle and
pull toward you. Then pull the
filter up and out.
Front Grille Removal
The front grille can be removed for
more thorough cleaning or to make
the model and
serial numbers
easier to read.
To remove the grille:
1. Grasp the upper part of the inlet
baffle and pull it away from the
frame. Do the same to the
lower
part of the inlet baffle. Then pull
the baffle straight out and off the
frame.
NOTE: If the air conditioner is
installed high through a wall, you
can pull the lower part of the inlet
baffle toward you and pull the
filter down and out.
6
2. Remove and save the two
slotted hex
washerhead screws
that
hold the grille to the frame.
3. After cleaning, replace the grille.
Use a magnetic-tipped screwdriver
to attach the grille with the two
screws removed in step 2.
Vacuum the filter on the dusty side
to remove light dust. Wash the
filter, cleaner side up, under gently
flowing water to wash out
accumulated dust and lint. If the
filter is very dirty, use a
mild
household detergent in the wash
water. Let the filter dry thoroughly
before replacing it.
To replace the inlet ba~e, align
the
la;ge tabs on the baffle wit~ the
slots on the frame and push
straight on until the baffle snaps
into place.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUG (115-volt models on~)
Because of potential safety

we strongly recommend
against use of an adapter plug.
However, if vou still elect to use
an adapter, where local codes
permit, a temporary connection
may be made to a properly
grounded two-prong wall outlet
by use of a UL-listed adapter
(Fig. 2) available at most local

CIRCUIT BREAKER PROTECTION
Whether your air conditioner is a 115-volt or a 230/
208-volt unit, it is
impotiant to have the wall outlet
and circuit checked by a qualified electrician if there
is any doubt as to whether a proper ground exists.
The larger slot in the adapter must
be aligned with the larger slot in
the wall outlet to provide proper
polarity in the connection of the
power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter
ground terminal to wall outlet
cover screw does not ground the
appliance unless cover screw is
metal, and not insulated, and wall
outlet is grounded through house
wiring. You should have the circuit
checked
bv a qualified electrician
to make sure the outlet is properly
grounded.
When disconnecting the power
cord from the adapter, always
hold the adapter with one hand. If
this is not done, the adapter
ground terminal is verv
Iikelv to
break with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground
terminal break, DO NOT USE the
appliance until a proper ground
has again been established.
USE OFEXTENSIONCORDS
Because of potential safety
hazards under certain conditions,
we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord.
However, if you still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutely
necessarv that it be a UL-listed
3-wire grounding type appliance
extension cord and that the current
carrying rating of the cord in
amperes be equal to or greater than
the branch circuit size shown on the
rating nameplate of the appliance.

both existing buildings and new construction.
● The side louvers must project on the outdoor
side of the wall.
● The room side of the cabinet must project into
the room at least 1“ from the finished wall.
● The cabinet must be installed level from side to
side and with a 3/8” tilt from front to rear.

2. Choose the wall opening location. Be sure
wall receptacle is (or will be) installed nearby.
3. Make the opening. Frame it to support the
weight of the air conditioner. Add metal flashing
over bottom of frame opening and 1“ up on sides
to reduce the possibility of condensate entering
the area between the inner and outer wall.
2. PREPARE THE CABINED
1. Remove chassis from cabinet.
2. With caulking compound or electrical tape, seal
10 holes provided in cabinet for top rail and side
retainers not used in this installation. *

oversize, use shims to eliminate distortion.
4. Caulk all four sides on the outdoor side of
cabinet to prevent moisture from getting through
to the interior wall. Use of flashing (a piece of
aluminum or galvanized steel available at most
hardware stores) will further prevent moisture
from getting into interior walls.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
● Not plugged in. Plug may have been bumped loose by vacuum cleaner
or furniture.
● If plugged in, fuse could have blown or circuit breaker may have tripped.
● Curtains, blinds or furniture blocking front of air conditioner will restrict
air flow.
● Thermostat Control may not be set high enough. Turn control to a
higher number. Highest setting should provide maximum cooling. When Energy
Saver Switch (on some models) is set at SAVE, temperature range in room will
vary more.
● Air filter dirty, should be cleaned at least every 30 days.
● Room may have been very hot when air conditioner was first turned on.
Allow time for it to cool down.
“ Cold air may be escaping through open furnace floor registers and cold air returns.
● Ventilation control may be set at OPEN position, allowing hot outside air to
enter the room.
● Cooling coils have iced up. To melt ice, set the Selector Switch to HIGH FAN
and the Thermostat Control to a lower number.
G Thermostat click, a metallic sound, may be heard when compressor cycles on
and off. This is normal.
● Fans run continuously when Selector Switch is in Cool or Fan position.
This is normal. When Energy Saver Switch (on some models) is set at SAVE,
fan cycles on and off with compressor.
● Excess water may overflow in extremely hot and humid weather.
This is normal.
“ Air conditioner must be installed with the specified tilt to the outside for
proper water disposal.
● This is normal for a short period in areas with 1 ittle humidity; normal for a
longer period in very humid areas. Moisture removed from indoor air drains to
