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 on the coldest setting and the Selector is set on LO COOL.
To correct the condition, set the Selector at HI FAN or HI COOL with the Thermostat at 1 or 2.

CARE AND CLEANING

Grille and cabinet Outdoor coils

Turn the air conditioner off and remove the plug from the wall outlet before cleaning.
The coils on the weather side of the air conditioner should be checked regularly. If they are clogged with dirt or soot they may be professionally steam cleaned, a service available through your GE service outlet.
MILD DISH
DETERGENT
DO NOT use bleach or abrasives.
Use water and a mild detergent.
Front grille
(Before first use, remove the tape that holds the front grille to the case and the foam shipping block taped to the back of the grille.)
To remove the grille: Remove the air filter. Remove the screw that holds the grille in place. If this is the first time the grille is being removed, the screw will not be in place. It is packed in a separate plastic bag.
NOTE: Do not pull the bottom edge toward you more than 3 inches or you may damage the tabs of the grille.
To replace the grille:

Air filter

The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if necessary.
The filter can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner to remove light dust, or washed in warm soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry before replacing it. When replacing, be sure the word FRONT is facing you.
DO NOT operate the air conditioner without a filter.
Operating Your Controls Care and Cleaning
