A cloggedfilter reduces cooling, heating and air flow.Keeping the air filter clean will: Decrease cost of operation. Save energy.To replace the air filter:Replace the clean filter by pushing it backinto place. Prevent clogged heat exchanger coils. Reduce the risk of premature component failure.To clean the air filters: Vacuum off the heavy soil. Run water through the filters. Dry thoroughly before replacing.To remove the air filter, on some models:Carefully pull the tab forward, up and out.NOTICE: Do not operate the air conditioner withoutthe filter in place. If a filter becomes torn or damaged itshould be replaced immediately.Operating without the filter in place or with a damaged filterwill allow dirt and dust to reach the indoor coil and reduce thecooling, heating, airflow and efficiency of the unit.Replacement filters are available from your salesperson, GEdealer, GE Service and Parts Center or authorized CustomerCare servicers.11
