Keep the 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 5.
Providegood airflow
Make sure the airflow to and from the unit is clear. Your
air conditioner
puts
the conditioned air out at the top of the
unit, and takes in unconditioned 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 Nocked.
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.
Properinstallationof sealgasket
Make sure the seal gasket has been installed
properly to
minimize
noise and improve efficiency. If the seal gasket
has not been installed,
please refer to your installation
instruction
manual.
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.
