Getting the most out of your air conditioner
• Keep windows and doors shut. Rooms in which the air conditioner is being
used should be closed off so the room air is recirculated.
• Locate window/wall units on the south side of the house, if possible. Shade
the unit if it is exposed to full sun, but don’t restrict airflow over it.
• Set thermostats at 23ºC – 26ºC for summer cooling. Each degree you
lower the thermostat may increase running costs by up to 10%.
• Homes that are insulated require air conditioners with lower heating/
cooling outputs because they can trap the cool/warm air. A fully insulated
home will require less power usage from the air conditioner to reach a
comfortable room temperature. However, ceiling sweep fans will help move
warm/cool air back down to floor level in rooms with very high ceilings.
How it works
• The indoor air, sucked in by the fan, enters
the unit through the grille at the front panel
and passes through a filter, which collects
any dust (Fig. 4).
• The air is then conveyed to the heat ex-
changer, where it is cooled and dehumidified
or heated, depending on your setting. The
heat removed from the room is released to
the outside.
• At the end of the cycle, the fan releases the
conditioned air back into the room.
• The direction of the air outlet is regulated by
flaps on the indoor unit, which are motorised
up and down. The vertical deflectors direct
the airflow right and left.
