l
Improve home insulation (seal doors,
windows, and close fireplace flue).
l
Close blinds or drapes on sunny side of
house; add window awnings.
l
Keep air filter clean. Don’t block air flow
with drapes or furniture.
l
Ventilate attic (high temperature levels
add to normal cooling load).
l
Try not to use heat producing appliances
during the hottest part of the day. Turn
lights,
appliances off when not needed.
l
Keep heat registers and cool air returns
closed or blocked off so cooled air won’t
escape.
l
Use a vent fan in areas where cooking,
laundry, or bathing is done to pull out
extra heat and moisture near its source.

For your personal safety, this appliance must be
grounded. This appliance is equipped with a
power supply cord having a 3-prong grounding
plug. To minimize possible shock hazard, the

and local codes and ordinances. If a mating wall
receptacle is not available, it is the personal
responsibility and obligation of the customer to
have a properly grounded 3-prong wall receptacle
