Air Conditioner Use; Air Conditioner Care - GE APCD06 Series Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

Air Conditioner Use

IMPORTANT: If the air conditioner has been tilted on its
side, wait 24 hours before turning on the air conditioner to
allow the oil to return to the compressor. This will prevent
the air conditioner from failing prematurely.
• Allow 30" (76.2 cm) of space around the unit for proper
air circulation.
• Do Not operate the air conditioner without air filters in
place.
• Do not spill liquid on the control panel; it may cause
an electrical short to the interior electronic parts that
would either disable them or cause them to function
improperly.
• When turning on the air conditioner for the first time
after plugging it into an electrical outlet, the unit will
start in Cooling mode set at 75ºF (24°C), and at High
fan speed. The control panel will display the current
room temperature.
