THERMOSTAT
Thermostat Control
When you move the Thermostat

the thermostat will automatically
control the temperature of the
indoor air. The higher the number
selected, the cooler the indoor air
will become.
-
OPEN VENT CLOSE
(ON THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE
OF THE DISCHARGE GRILLE)
Ventilation Control
When you move the Ventilation
Control to CLOSE, the vent door
is closed and only the air inside
the room will be circulated and
conditioned. Moving the control
to OPEN opens the vent door,
allowing a small amount of indoor
air to be exhausted from the room.
However, cooling effectiveness is
reduced when this control is set at
OPEN, so we suggest you don’t
keep it there long—especially in
hot, humid weather.
Freezing up
Outside a;r
temperature
dropping
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 LO COOL.
To correct the condition, set the
Selector at HI FAN or HI COOL
and move the Thermostat to the
warmest setting.
A

For normal cooling
1. Set the Selector Switch at HI
COOL.
2. Set the Thermostat Control
at
the desired number (usually 4-6 is
a good starting position). If room
temperature is not satisfactory
after a reasonable time, set the
Thermostat Control at a higher
number for a cooler room or at a
lower number for a warmer room.
3. Set the Ventilation Control at
CLOSE except for brief periods
when you want to exhaust room air
to the outside.
For maximum cooling
1. Set the Selector Switch at
HI COOL.
2. Turn the Thermostat Control
to
8.
3. Set the Ventilation Control at
CLOSE.
For quieter operation
1. Set the Selector Switch at the
LO COOL position.
2. Turn the Thermostat Control to
the desired number.
3. Set the Ventilation Control at
CLOSE.
For nighttime operation
During the cooler evening hours,
we recommend that you set the
Selector Switch at LO COOL
for quieter operation and the
Thermostat Control at mid-range
(4 or 5). Set the Ventilation Control
at CLOSE.
For extreme temperatures
For greatest economy and best
performance, we suggest you set
the Selector Switch at HI COOL in
extremely hot weather.

Care and Cleating
USER MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
Turn air conditioner off and
remove the plug from the wall
outlet before cleaning.
Grille & Cabinet
Wipe front grille with a clean cloth
lightly dampened with mild liquid
dishwashing detergent. Wash
cabinet with mild soap or detergent
and lukewarm
water.
Outdoor Coil
This coil on the outdoor side
of the unit should be checked
periodically and cleaned if
clogged with dirt
or soot from
the atmosphere.
If extremely
soiled, it may need to be steam
cleaned,
a service available
through your GE service outlet.
Front Grille
Remove the front grille if you
need to read the model and
serial numbers.
To remove the grille:
1. Remove air filter from the grille
by sliding it to the right.
2. Remove and save the screw that
holds the
grille to the chassis.
3. Press inward on the lower right
side of the cabinet until the tab is
clear of the slot and allow the
grille to come toward you slightly.
4. Repeat this process for the lower
left side.
Do not pull the bottom edge
toward you more than 3 inches or
damage to the top 2 tabs of the
grille may occur.
5. Grasp the grille’s lower right
and
left corner and carefully lift
straight upward
to disengage the
2 top tabs from their
slots in the
cabinet front edge.
CABINET
:
“o SCREW
To attach the grille:
The grille is attached on the front of
the cabinet by
four tabs and a screw.
1. Remove air filter from the grille
by sliding it to the right.
2. Engage two tabs on the grille’s
top inside edge with two slots in
the cabinet front edge.
3. Press inward on the lower right
side of the
metal cabinet at the
location of the slots and then
carefully push the grille in until the
tab engages with the
slot.
Do not strike or forcibly hit the
plastic grille or damage to the
tabs will occur.
4. Repeat this process for the lower
left side.
5. Mount the grille on the front of
the cabinet with the screw attached
to the grille during shipping, and
slide the filter back into place.
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 tab
on the filter and pull to the right.
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.
When replacing the filter, be sure
the word FRONT is facing you as
you slide the filter back into place.

Energ-Saving Tips
● Keep the air filter clean.
● For most efficient cooling,
keep the Ventilation Control in
the CLOSE position except when
you want to exhaust air, smoke or
odors from the room.
● Don t let the room get too
hot. Whenever possible, turn the
unit on before the room heats up.
When heat is “stored up” in walls,
furniture, rugs
and draperies, your
air conditioner takes longer to
produce the desired comfort
condition.
● Keep windows and doors
closed. Cool, dry
air escapes
when they’re open.
● Keep furnace tloor registers and
cold air returns closed. Cold air
can easily escape through them.
● Don’t let drapes or furniture block
the top or front
of unit and restrict
air flow when it is operating.
● It’s best to operate your air
conditioner at high speed during
extremely hot weather.
● Keep the outdoor condenser
coil clean.
● Turn air conditioner off before
vacations or extended absences
from home.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
● Not plugged in. Plug may have been bumped

● If plugged in, fuse could have blown or
circuit breaker may have tripped.
● Curtain, blinds or furniture blocking the top or
the front of the air conditioner will restrict air
flow.
● Thermostat Control may not be set high
enough. Move the knob to a higher number.
Highest setting should provide maximum
cooling.
● 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, move
the Selector Switch to HI FAN and the
Thermostat Control to a lower number.
● Thermostat click, a metallic sound, may be
heard when compressor cycles on and off. This
is normal.
● Fan runs continuously when Selector
Switch is in COOL or FAN position.
This is normal.
● Excess water may oveflow in extremely hot
and humid weather. This is normal.
● Air conditioner must be installed level or tilted
slightly to the outside for proper water disposal.
● This is normal for a short period in areas with
little humidity; normal for a longer period in
very humid areas. Moisture removed from
indoor air drains to rear of cabinet where it is
picked up by a fan and thrown against the
outdoor condenser coil.
