ENERGY-	Your Kenmore appliance is designed to be highly efficient in energy savings. Follow
SAVING TIPS
	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 on High, Medium or Low. This circulates indoor air,providing some cooling comfort while utilizing less electricity.
