•
Cover windows with a blind or a curtain.
Blocking sunlight and air from outdoors increases the cooling (heating) effect.

•
Set the room temperature appropriately.
Take care not to cool or heat the room excessively.
Adjust the temperature so that everyone in the room is comfortable.
•
Ventilate the room from time to time.
Be sure to ventilate the room after using the air conditioner for a long time.
•
Do not leave the door or window open.
The air will be released, and the effect of cooling/heating
will be reduced.
•
Do not allow direct sunshine to enter the room dur-
ing the cooling operation.
Hang a curtain or blind to the window to prevent direct sunshine.
•
Keep televisions, radios or stereo equipment at least
1 meter from the indoor unit or remote controller.
Otherwise, picture
disturbance or
noise may result.
• Use flow direction adjustment skillfully.
Cold air collects toward the floor and hot air collects toward
the ceiling. Therefore, for cooling, set the air flow horizon-
tally, and for heating, set the air flow downward. Also, set
the air flow so that it does not blow directly on your body.
