ENERGY SAVING

IDEAS

• The

capacity

of the

room

air conditioner

must

fit

the

room

size

for

efficient

and

satisfactory

operation.

• install

the

room

air

conditioner

on

the

shady

side

of your

home.

A window

that

faces

north

is best

because

it is shaded

most

of the

day.

• Do

not block

air conditioner

flow

inside

with

blinds,

curtains,

or furniture,

or outside

with

shrubs,

enclosures,

or other

buildings.

• Close

the

floor

and

wall

registers

and

the

fireplace

damper

so cool

air

does

not

escape

up

the

chimney

or into

the

duct

work.

• Keep

blinds

and

drapes

in other

windows

closed

during

the

sunniest

part

of the

day.

• Clean

the

air

filter

as

recommended

in the

MAINTENANCE

section

of this

manual.

• Proper

insulation

and

weather

stripping

in your

home

will

help

keep

warm

air

out

and

cool

air

in.

• External

house

shading

with

trees,

plants

or

awnings

will

help

reduce

the

air

conditioner's

work

load.

• Operate

heat

producing

appliances

such

as

ranges,

washers,

dryers,

and

dishwashers

during

the

coolest

part

of the

day.
