Keep the filter clean
Make sure that your air conditioner is always in top performing condition by cleaning the filter regularly.
Instructionsfor removing and cleaningthe filter can be found on page 8.
Provide good airflow
Make sure that the airflow to and from the unit is clear. Your air conditioner puts the air out atthe top of
the unit, and takes in air at the bottom. Airflow is critical for good operation. It is just as important on the
outside ofthe building that the airflow around the unit exterior is not blocked.
Unit Placement
Ifyour air conditioner can be placed in a window or a wall that is shaded by a tree or another building, the
unit will operate even more efficiently. Using drapes or blinds on the sunny sideof the dwellingwill also
add toyour unit's efficiency.
/nsu/ation
Good insulation will be a big help in maintaining desirable comfort levels. Doorsshould have weather
stripping. Be sureto caulk around doors and windows.
