Your Danby appliance is designed to be highly efficient in energy savings. Follow these
recommendations for greater efficiency.
1) Select a thermostat setting that suits your comfort
needs and leave at that chosen setting.
2) The air filter is very efficient in removing
airborne particles. Keep the air filter clean at all
times.
3) Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep direct
sunlight from penetrating and heating room, but do
not allow drapes or curtains to obstruct the air flow
around the unit.
4) Start your air conditioner before the outdoor air
becomes hot and uncomfortable, to avoid an initial
period of discomfort while the unit is cooling off
the room. Use of the automatic start/stop
programmable TIMER feature can be a major asset
in this regard if utilized to the fullest extent.
5) When outdoor temperatures are cool enough, turn
the air conditioner off and use the FAN MODE.
This circulates indoor air, providing some cooling
comfort while utilizing less electricity.
