of frost on
the cooling coils.

detergent
and warm water. Rinse filter

Gently shake excess water from the filter. Be sure filter is thoroughly
dry before replacing.

Energy Saving Ideas
•
Do not block
air flow
inside with
blinds,
curtains
or furniture;
or
outside
with shrubs,
enclosures,
or other buildings.
• 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.
•
Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so coot air does not escape
up the chimney and 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 section "Care and Cleaning."
•
Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air out
and coot air in.
•
External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air
conditioner's work toad.
•
Operate
heat
producing
appliances
such
as ranges,
washers,
dryers
and
dishwashers
during the coolest part of the day.
