This knob is set at CLOSE at the

the vent door is closed and only
indoor air is filtered, cooled or
heated and circulated by the air
conditioner.
Switching the knob to OPEN opens
the vent door to allow some outside
air to enter the room. However,
cooling or heating effectiveness is
reduced when the control is set at
OPEN, so we suggest you don’t
keep it there long.
If the knob is not set all the way in

Care and Cleaning
Turn the air conditioner off and
remove the plug from wall outlet,
or remove fuses, or turn off
circuit breakers at the power
panel before cleaning.

building management may wish to
provide these maintenance
functions that are necessary for
continued peak operating efficiency
of your air conditioner.
Room Cabinet & Case

finish with mild soap or detergent
and lukewarm water.
Condenser Coils
These coils on the weather side of
the unit should be checked
periodically and cleaned if clogged
with dirt or soot from the
atmosphere. If extremely soiled,
they may need to be professionally
steam cleaned, a service available
through your GE service outlet.
Air Filter
The air filter behind the room
cabinet should be washed at least
every 30 days or as often as it needs
cleaning.
Access to the filter is obtained by
removing the room cabinet.
