the air discharge louvers. They’ll
be easier to read if you shine a
flashlight on them or remove the
front grille. (See page 5.)

your air conditioner. Before sending
in this card, please write these
numbers here:

INSTRUCTIONS

Energy-saving tips

● 

Keep the air filter clean. (See

instructions on page 5.)

● 

For most efficient cooling, keep

the vent control in the CLOSED
position except when you want to
exhaust air, smoke or odors from
the room.

. Don’t 

 the room get too

hot. Whenever possible, turn the
unit on before the room heats up.
When heat is “stored up” in walls,
furniture, rugs and draperies, your
air conditioner takes longer to
produce the desired comfort
condition.

● 

Keep windows and doors

closed. Cool, 

 air escapes

when they’re open.

 Keep furnace floor registers and

cold air returns closed. Cold air
can easily escape through them.

● 

Don’t let drapes or furniture block

the front of the unit and restrict air
flow when it is operating.

● 

It’s best to operate your air

conditioner at high speed during
extremely hot weather.

. Keep the outdoor condenser coil

clean. (See page 5.)

● 

Turn the air conditioner off

before vacations or extended
absences from home.

Check the Problem Solver on
page 6. It lists causes of minor
operating problems that you can
correct yourself.
