Notes for Operation

Suggestion for Energy Saving

 

Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more 

electricity.

 

Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.

 

Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air conditioner.

 

Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.

 

Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, within a short period of time.

 

Open windows regularly for ventilation. The indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air conditioner is 

used for long durations.

 

Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the air 

flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.
