● Keep the air filter clean. (See
instructions on page 5.)
. For most efficient cooling, keep
the vent control in
position except when you want to
exhaust air, smoke or odors from
the room.
. Don’t let the room get too
hot. Whenever possible, turn the
unit on before the room heats up.
When heat is “stored up” in walls,
furniture, rugs and draperies, your
air conditioner takes longer to
produce the desired comfort
condition.
. Keep windows and doors
closed. Cool, dry air escapes
when they’re open.
● Keep furnace floor registers and
cold air returns closed. Cold 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 weather.
● Keep the outdoor condenser coil
clean. (See page 5.)
. Turn the air conditioner off
before vacations or extended
absences from home.
