Warranty Information

GE Appliances offers a one-year limited warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship for air conditioners.

Using the Air Conditioner

Cool Mode: Use to set the desired temperature between 64°F and 86°F. The compressor cycles to maintain room temperature. Cooler with lower setting, warmer with higher.

Eco Mode: Controls the fan. Fan cycles on/off with the compressor, allowing wider temperature/humidity variations. Fan may run briefly after compressor cycles off.

Fan Only Mode: Use for air circulation and filtering without cooling. No set temperature can be entered.

Auto Fan Mode: Fan speed automatically adjusts to provide optimum comfort with the set temperature.

Care and Cleaning

Grille and Case: Turn off and unplug. Clean with water and mild detergent. Do not use bleach or abrasives.

Air Filter: Check and clean at least every 30 days. Remove by pulling down inlet grille tabs, remove filter, wash with soapy water, rinse, and dry. Do not operate without a filter.

Outdoor Coils: Check regularly. Professional cleaning may be needed if clogged.

Troubleshooting and error codes

Problem	Possible Cause	What To Do

	The fuse is blown/circuit breaker is tripped.	Check the house fuse/circuit breaker box and replace the fuse or reset the breaker.

	The temp control may not be set properly.	Turn the temperature control to a higher number.

	The room may have been hot.	When the air conditioner is first turned on, allow time for the room to cool down.
	Cold air is escaping.	Check for open furnace registers and cold air returns.
Air conditioner freezing up	Cooling coils have iced up.	See "Air conditioner freezing up" below.
	Ice blocks the air flow and stops the air conditioner from cooling the room.	Set the mode control to High Fan or High Cool with the temperature setting as high as it can be set.
Water drips outside	Hot, humid weather.	This is normal.
Water drips inside	The air conditioner is not tilted to the outside.	For proper disposal, make sure the air conditioner slants slightly from the front to the rear.
