Cleaning The Air Filter - GE MGI09CAB3 Use & Care Manual

Cleaning the Air Filter

A clogged air conditioner will reduce its cooling efficiency, and can also be bad for your
health. Make sure to clean the filter once every two weeks.
1. Lift the front panel of the indoor unit.
2. Grip the tab on the end of the filter, push it
up slightly, then pull it a little towards
yourself.
3. Now pull down to extract the filter.
4. If your filter has a small air freshening fil-
ter, unclip it from the larger filter. Clean
this air freshening filter with a hand-held
vacuum cleaner.
5. Clean the large air filter with warm, soapy
water. Be sure to use a mild detergent.
6. Rinse the filter with fresh water, then shake
off excess water.
7. Dry it in a cool, dry place. Do not expose it
to direct sunlight.
8. When dry, replace the air freshening filter
to the larger filter, then slide it back into
the indoor unit.
9. Close the front panel of the indoor unit.
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH
THE AIR FRESHENING
(PLASMA) FILTER FOR AT LEAST
