TIPS BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER

Your room air conditioner unit is designed to be highly efficient and save energy. Follow these recommendations for greater efficiency:

• Select temperature setting that suits your comfort needs and leave the temperature at that chosen setting.

• The filter is very efficient in rem oving airborne particles. Keep air filter clean. The filter should be cleaned once a month. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on outdoor and indoor air quality.

• Use drapes, curtains, or shades to keep direct sunlight from heating your room, but DO NOT obstruct the air conditioner. Allow air to circulate around the unit without obstructions.

• Start your air conditioner before the room temperature air becomes hot and uncomfo rtable. This avoids an initial period of discomfort whi le the unit is cooling off the room.

• When room temperature is cool enough, use HIGH, MED or LOW FAN only. T his will circ ulate th e air, providing some cooling comfort, and utilizes less electricity than when operating on a cooling setting.

• Sav e the shipping carton and packing materials f or future storage or transport of the unit. Please check the contents of hardware kit against the corresponding model PARTS AND FEATURES check list, prior to installation of the unit.
