Your Danby appliance is designed to be highly efficient in energy savings. Follow these
recommendations for greater efficiency.
1)
Select a thermostat setting that suits your comfort
needs and leave at that chosen setting.
2)
The filter is very efficient in removing airborne
particles. Keep the air filter clean. Normally, filters
should be cleaned every 2 weeks. More frequent
cleaning may be necessary depending on indoor air
quality.
3)
Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep direct
sunlight from penetrating and heating room, but do
not allow drapes or curtains to obstruct the air flow
around the unit.
4)
Start your air conditioner before the outdoor air
becomes hot and uncomfortable, to avoid an initial
period of discomfort while the unit is cooling off
the room.
5)
When outdoor temperatures are cool enough, use
HIGH or LOW FAN only. This circulates indoor
air, providing some cooling comfort, and utilizes
less electricity than when operating on a cooling
setting.
