THERMOSTAT
Thermostat Control
When you move the Thermostat Control to the desired setting, 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
Page 5
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.

clean
cloth lightly dampened with mild liquid
dishwashing detergent. Wash
cabinet with mild
soap
or detergent
and lukewarm

Outdoor Coil
This coil on the outdoor side

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

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

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
loose by vacuum cleaner or furniture.
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.
