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 in use.
 Do not place the unit in front of curtains or drapes- to ensure they do
not obstruct the air intake.
 Minimize the length of the exhaust hose.
 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 on the unit 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, 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 keep the pre-filters clean by cleaning regularly.
 Inspect and replace the activated carbon filters regularly.
 Perform routine maintenance.
