Air Filter

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.

The air filter behind the front grille should be checked and cleaned at least every 30 days or more often if necessary.

To remove: Lift the top of the filter and gently pull it up.

To clean, use water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives.

The filter can be washed in warm soapy water. Rinse and let the filter dry before replacing it.

CAUTION: DO NOT operate the air conditioner

without a filter because dirt and lint will clog it and reduce performance.
