Keep the filter clean
Make sure that your air conditioner is always in top
performing condition by cleaning the filter regularly.
Instructions for removing and cleaning the filter can be
found on page 5.
Providegoodairflow
Make sure the airflow to and from the unit is clear. Your air
conditioner puts the air out at the top of the unit, and takes
in air at the bottom. Airflow is critical to good operation.
It is just as important on the outside of the building that the
airflow around the unit exterior is not blocked.
Unit placement
If your air conditioner can be placed in a window or wall that
is shaded by a tree or another building, the unit will operate
even more efficiently. Using drapes or blinds on the sunny
side of the dwelling will also add to your unit's efficiency.
Insulation
Good insulation will be a big help in maintaining desirable
comfort levels. Doors should have weather stripping. Be
sure to caulk around doors and windows.
