Frequently Asked Questions - AJCM10ACG GE

How to clean the air filter?

Turn off the air conditioner and unplug it. Remove the filter, vacuum large particles, then wash it with water and dry it completely before reinstalling. Clean the filter at least every 30 days to maintain efficiency.

What to do if the air conditioner does not cool?

First check that the thermostat is set to a temperature lower than room temperature. Make sure the filter is not clogged and that no furniture is blocking airflow. If the problem persists, wait 3 minutes after restarting for the compressor to start.

How to use the remote control?

The remote control works with 2 AAA batteries. Point it at the air conditioner receiver from a maximum distance of 21 feet (6.4 m). Use the Mode, Temperature, and Fan Speed buttons to adjust the unit.

How to set the timer?

For a delayed start, with the unit off, press Delay Hrs On to program the start from 0.5 to 24 hours. For a delayed stop, with the unit on, press Delay Hrs Off. Each press increases the delay by 0.5 hours up to 10 hours, then by 1 hour up to 24 hours.

What to do if the air conditioner freezes?

If ice forms, set the controls to High Fan or High Cool and increase the thermostat temperature to melt the ice. A dirty filter or blocked airflow may be the cause.

How to install the air conditioner in an existing wall?

Remove any packaging material near the compressor. Remove the filter and front grille. Slide the air conditioner into the wall sleeve making sure the tubing does not touch the sleeve. Secure the front grille and locking plate.

What are normal operating sounds?

You may hear a clicking sound from water absorption splashing on the condenser in humid weather, a snap from the thermostat during on/off cycles, or the fan continuing to run even when the compressor stops.

How to change the remote control batteries?

Slide the battery compartment cover in the direction of the arrow. Insert 2 AAA batteries (1.5 V) respecting the polarities (+ and -). Close the cover. Do not mix new and old batteries or different battery types.

How to get warranty service?

Contact Gordon Williams Corp. at 1.888.209.0999. You will need to provide the serial number and model number along with proof of purchase. The warranty covers 1 year parts and labor, and 5 years on the sealed system.

How to adjust the vent control?

The vent control is located behind the front grille. To open it (exchange with outside air), remove the grille, remove the vent card screw, flip the card so that the mesh end is toward the back, then re-screw. In the closed position, the mesh end is toward the front.

CAUTION

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

WARNING

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death. For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock or personal injury.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this Owner's Manual.
This air conditioner must be properly installed in accordance with the Installation Instructions before it is used.
Never unplug your air conditioner by pulling on the power cord. Always grip plug firmly and pull straight out from the receptacle.
Replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. A damaged power supply cord must be replaced with a new power supply cord obtained from the manufacturer and not repaired. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its length or at either the plug or connector end.

Turn OFF and unplug your air conditioner before making any repairs or cleaning.
NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.
For your safety...do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
All air conditioners contain refrigerants, which under federal law must be removed prior to product disposal. If you are getting rid of an old product with refrigerants, check with the company handling disposal about what to do.

WARNING

HOW TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY

WARNING

Risk of electric shock. Can

cause injury or death. This appliance must be properly grounded. Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord. For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard 3-prong (grounding) wall outlet to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Power cord may include a current interrupter device. A test and reset button is provided on the plug case. The device should be tested on a periodic basis by first pressing the TEST button and then the RESET button. If the TEST button does not trip or if the RESET button will not stay engaged, discontinue use of the air conditioner and contact a qualified service technician.

USE OF EXTENSION CORDS

WARNING

RISK OF FIRE. Could cause

serious injury or death.

USE OF ADAPTER PLUGS

WARNING

Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.

We strongly recommend against the use of an adapter plug.
If you must use an adapter, where local codes permit, a temporary connection may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL-listed adapter available at most local hardware stores.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

Where a 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

WARNING

Risk of electric shock. Can cause injury or death.

The air conditioner should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet which has a voltage rating that matches the rating plate. This provides the best performance and also prevents overloading house wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
See the Installation Instructions, Electrical Requirements section for specific electrical connection requirements.

DO NOT use an extension cord with this Built-in Air Conditioner.
DO NOT use surge protectors or multi-outlet adaptors with this Built-in Air Conditioner.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one hand while pulling the power cord plug with the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.
If the adapter ground terminal breaks, DO NOT USE the air conditioner until a proper ground has been established.
Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, not insulated, and the wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
