Energy-Saving Tips

Your Room Air Conditioner unit is designed to be highly efficient and save energy. Follow thèse ;i^çqnimendations for greater efficiency ; - ,

1 Sélect thehnbstat setting that suits your

comfort needs and leave thé thermostat at that chosen setting

2 The filter is very efficient in removing airborne particles Keep air fitter clean Normally, filter should be cleaned once a month More

frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on outdoor and indoor air quality

3 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

4 Start your air conditioner before outdoor

air becomes hot and uncomfortable This avoids an initial period of discomfort while

the unit is cooling off the room

5 When outdoor temperature is cool enough, use HIGH or LOW FAN only (depending on your model) This circulates indoor air, providing some cooling comfort, and utilizes less electricity than when operating on a cooling setting
