GE 5500 Air Conditioner User Manual


 
Turn the air conditioner off before
cleaning.
The most important thing you can
do to maintain the air conditioner
is to clean the filter at least every 30
days. Clogged filters reduce cool-
ing, heating and airflow.
Keeping the filter clean will:
Decrease cost of operation.
Save energy.
Prevent clogged heat exchanger
coils.
Reduce the risk of premature
component failure.
To clean the air filter:
Vacuum off the heavy soil.
Run water through the filter
from the back side.
Dry thoroughly before replacing.
On some models,
carefully pull the
tab forward, up and out.
On other models,
pull it down.
Replace the clean filter by pushing
it back into place.
CAUTION:
DO NOT operate the air conditioner
without the filter in place. If a filter
becomes torn or damaged it should
be replaced immediately.
Operating without the filter in
place or with a damaged filter will
allow dirt and dust to reach the in-
door coil and reduce the cooling,
heating, airflow and efficiency of
the unit.
Replacement filters are available
from your salesperson, GE dealer,
GE Service and Parts Center
or authorized Customer Care®
servicers.
