. Keep the air filter clean. (See

instructions on page 5.)

● 

For most efficient cooling, keep

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

● 

Don’t let 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, dry 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

top or front of 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 outdoor condenser coil

clean. (See page 5.)

● 

Turn air conditioner off before

vacations or extended absences

from home.
