Keepthe filter clean

Make sure that your air conditioner is always in top
performing condition by cleaning the filter regularly.
Instructions for removing and cleaning the filter can be
found on page 7.

Providegoodairflow

Make sure the airflow to and from the unit isclear. Your air
conditioner puts the air out at the top of the unit, and takes

in air at the bottom. Airflow is critical to good operation.
It is just as important on the outside of the building that the

airflow around the unit exterior is not blocked.

Unit placement

If your air conditioner can be placed in a window or wall
that is shaded by a tree or another building, the unit will
operate even more efficiently. Using drapes or blinds on
the sunny side of the dwelling will also add to your unit's
efficiency.

Insulation

Good insulation will be a big help in maintaining desirable
comfort levels. Doors should have weather stripping. Be

sure to caulk around doors and windows.
