Keepthe 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.
Providegoodairflow
Make sure the airflow to and from the unit is clear. Your
air conditioner puts the conditioned air out at the top of the
uniL 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 blocked.
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.
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.
Properinstallationofsealgasket
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.
