Usage Features:

Control Panel and Remote Control: The unit can be operated via touch pads on the air conditioner's control panel or a supplied remote control. Lights beside the touch pads indicate selected settings.
Power Pad: Turns the air conditioner on and off. When on, the display shows the set temperature and user settings.

Mode Pad: Selects operating modes: Fan Only, Cool, Dry, or Eco.
Fan Speed Pad: Adjusts fan speed to Auto, Quiet, Med, or High in Cool, Eco, or Dry modes. In Fan Only mode, options are High, Med, or Quiet.
Delay Feature (Remote Control Only): Allows the unit to operate in ECO mode at a set temperature and fan speed after a specified delay (1-24 hours). The display shows remaining hours.
Sleep Pad: Activates SLEEP mode, which gradually changes settings over an 8-hour period for increased energy efficiency. Available in COOL, DRY, and ECO modes. Fan speed adjusts automatically (decreases by one setting if High or Med, sets to Quiet if Quiet or Auto). Set point raises by 2°F after 1 hour, and another 2°F after a second hour, remaining for the next 6 hours.
Filter Reset Pad: An indicator light comes on after 250 hours of operation to remind the user to clean the filters. Pressing the pad after cleaning resets the timer.

Normal Operating Sounds: Users may hear a pinging noise from water being thrown against the condenser on rainy or humid days (helps remove moisture and improve efficiency). A clicking sound may occur when the thermostat cycles the compressor. Water may accumulate in the base pan and overflow/drip outside. The fan may run even when the compressor is off.
SmartHQ Enabled: The air conditioner supports remote monitoring and control via the GE Appliances SmartHQ app, available on iTunes and Google Play. Users can connect the AC to their home WiFi network.
