TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
Here are some tips that will help you minimize the power consumption when you use the air
conditioner. You can use your air conditioner more efficiently by referring to the instructions
below:
• Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more electricity.
• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.
• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.
• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air conditioner is used for many hours.
• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the
air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.
• Do not turn on/off the air conditioner frequently. For inverter product, the air conditioner reduces
the operating frequency to run super energy saver mode, as it gets closer to the set temperature.
Therefore turning the product on/off can lead to higher electricity bill.
• Using the fan together with the air conditioner can keep the space cool as setting the air conditioner to high speed and also save on the electricity bill.
• Install the product where there is no heating device or obstacle that interferes with the product.
• If the product is not used for a long period of time, unplug the power. This can save unnecessary
electricity and improve safety against natural disaster such as lightning strike and flooding by blocking the electricity that flows to the outdoor unit.
