TIPS ON SAVING ENERGY

Below are some simple ways to save energy when
you use your air conditioner.
SET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE
• Setting the thermostat 1°C higher than the desired
temperature in the COOL mode and 2°C lower in the
HEAT mode will save approximately 10 percent in
power consumption.
• Setting the temperature lower than necessary dur-
ing cooling operation will result in increased power
consumption.
BLOCK DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND PREVENT
DRAFTS
• Blocking direct sunlight during cooling operation will
reduce power consumption.
• Close the windows and doors during cooling and
heating operations.
SET PROPER AIR FLOW DIRECTION TO OBTAIN
THE BEST AIR CIRCULATION
KEEP FILTER CLEAN TO ENSURE THE
MOST EFFICIENT OPERATION
MAKE MOST OF THE TIMER OFF FUNCTION
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD WHEN
THE UNIT IS NOT USED FOR AN EXTENDED
PERIOD OF TIME
• The indoor unit still consumes a small amount of
power when it is not operating.
