Operation Hints
¢ Save electricity with curtains
Curtains have the function
of keeping out heat and
also shutting out the light.
Close the curtains when
using the air conditioner.
e Prevent waste with the timer
Forgetting to turn off the
air conditioner when you
sleep not only wastes
electricity, but also is
not good for your health.
To prevent this, use the
timer or Sleep Mode
operation.
¢ Adjust 2°C higher
It is more economical
to set the temperature 2°C
higher than actually
desired when cooling.
Approximately 15 - 20%
of electricity costs can be
saved.
e Room temperature adjustment when
sleeping
The amount of heat radiated by the body
(metabolic rate) drops while you are sleeping.
For health reasons, the temperature during cooling
should be raised about 2 °- 3°C.
During Sleep Mode operation,
the temperature is
automatically adjusted.

e Ventilate rooms once or twice each
hour
In small to medium-sized
rooms, open the windows
for about 1~2 minutes once
or twice every hour. This
is particularly recommended
if you are using appliances
which operate by gas.
¢ Overcooling causes chills
During summer, if you are
continually moving in and
out of places where there
is a 7°C difference in
temperature or more,
your state of health can | ~
quickly deteriorate.
If the difference —
between the room temperature \)
and outside temperature is kept
between 4 - 6°C, fatigue will not
occur, and electricity can also be saved.
¢ Proper airflow direction adjustment
Cool air moves downward
and warm air rises. During
cooling operation, the airflow
direction should be
horizontal.
Set the airflow direction downwards
if you wish cool air to blow directly
to you. Do not do this for an
excessive length of time, as it is
not good for your health.
¢ Air temperature is slightly lower at the
floor
Air conditioners attached to walls
detect the temperature at a height <<
of approximately 1.5 meters from . y
the floor. Also, cooled air moves 2
downward, so the temperature Cr 2
at the floor is lower.
The temperature in rooms where
young infants, the elderly, or the
sick are sleeping should be set ~~
slightly higher than actually
required to compensate.
