Tips

● Keep the air filter clean. (See

instructions on page 5.)

● For most efficient operation,

keep vent in closed position except
when you want to let outside air
enter the room.

●

Don’t let the room get too hot or
too cold. Whenever possible, turn
the unit on before the room heats
up or cools off. If you don’t, the air
conditioner will take longer to
produce the desired comfort
condition.

●

Keep windows and doors closed.
Conditioned air escapes when

they’re open.

● Keep furnace floor registers and

cold air returns closed when cooling
is desired. Conditioned air can
easily escape through them.

●

Don’t let drapes or furniture block

the front of the unit and restrict air
flow when it is operating.

●

It’s best to operate your air

conditioner at high speed during
extremely hot or

cold weather.

Use these numbers in any
correspondence or service calls
concerning your air conditioner.

If you received a damaged air
conditioner,

the dealer (or builder) that sold
you the air conditioner.

Save time and money.
