On The Air Conditioner - GE APE08 Owner's Manual And Installation Instructions

When the air conditioner is turned on, it will
automatically start in the default setting.
Remote Control
I
To ensure proper operation, aim the
remote control at the signal receiver on
the air conditioner.
I
The remote control signal has a range of up to
21 feet.
FAN Mode
Use the FAN at HIGH, MID or LOW to provide air
circulation and filtering without cooling. Since fan
only settings do not provide cooling, a temperature
setting will not be displayed.
COOL Mode
Use the COOL mode with HIGH, MID or LOW fan
for cooling. Use the Temp INCREASE L /DECREASE M
pads to set the desired temperature between 61°F
and 86°F in 1°F increments.
A thermostat is used to maintain the room
temperature. The compressor will cycle on and off
to keep the room at the set level of comfort. Set the
thermostat at a lower number and the indoor air
will become cooler. Set the thermostat at a higher
number and the indoor air will become warmer.
NOTE: If the air conditioner is off and is then turned on
while set to a Cool setting or if turned from a fan setting
to a Cool setting, it will take approximately 3 minutes for
the compressor to start and cooling to begin.
DRY Mode
Use the DRY mode to provide dehumidification
only. The fan will run at a low fixed speed at this
setting. Keep windows and doors closed for the best
dehumidifying effects. When using the DRY mode,
detach the exhaust hose from the unit and remove
the window slider or seal the opening in the
window exhaust adapter.
AUTO Mode
Set to AUTO for the temperature and fan speed to
automatically provide optimum comfort settings.
I
Make sure nothing is between the air conditioner
and the remote control that could block the
signal.
I
Make sure batteries are fresh and installed
correctly—see the Using the portable air conditioner
section.
