Operation on High Fan/Cooling mode will give optimum
or maximum efficiency in high humidity or high outside
temperature.
Starting the air conditioner early in the morning and
giving it a "head start" on the expected high outdoor
ambient will greatly improve its ability to maintain the
desired indoor temperature.
For a more permanent solution to a high heat gain,
accessories like A&E outdoor patio and window aw-
nings will reduce heat gain by removing the direct
exposure to the sun. They also add a nice area to enjoy
company during the cool of the evening.
C. Condensation
Note:
responsible for damage caused by condensed moisture on
ceilings or other surfaces. Air contains moisture and this
moisture tends to condense on cold surfaces. When air
enters the RV, condensed moisture may appear on the
ceiling, windows, metal parts, etc. The air conditioner
removes this moisture from the air during normal operation.
Keeping doors and windows closed when this air conditioner
is in operation will minimize condensed moisture on cold
surfaces.
