Energy Saving Guide

Read and follow the guide below to get the best performance and efficiency from your portable
air conditioner:
 Do not cover the air outlet (exhaust) while the unit is in use.
 Do not place the unit in front of curtains or drapes as they may obstruct the air intake.
 Minimize the length of the exhaust hose, but allow at least 20" of clearance between the back
of the unit and the wall.
 Make sure the exhaust hose is as straight as possible and avoid kinks or bends.
 Keep curtains, blinds, or drapes closed during the sunniest part of the day.
 Use the timer to operate the unit before it is needed. For example, set the timer to turn the
unit on in cooling mode for 3 or more hours to cool the room before you arrive. You may want
to operate the unit all day if you live in a warmer climate.
 Minimize the heat sources (direct sunlight, computers, servers, people, etc.) in the room.
 Close all windows and doors.
 Use the unit in a contained room. For example, operate the air conditioner in a room with four
walls and a ceiling, instead of a partitioned studio, or warehouse.
 Make sure the unit is on a level surface.
 Minimize the amount of humidity in the room. For example, run the unit as a dehumidifier.
 To prolong the compressor's life, please wait at least 3 minutes before turning the unit back
on after shutting it off.
 Inspect and clean the pre-filters regularly.
 Inspect and replace the activated carbon filters regularly.
 Perform routine maintenance.
