Energy Saving Ideas; Installation - Kenmore Sears room air conditioner Owner's Manual

Energy Saving Ideas • 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.
• Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with
shrubs, enclosures,or other buildings.
• Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape
up the chimney and into the duct work.
• Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closedduring the sunniestpart 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 cool air in.
• External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air
conditioner's work load..
• Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and
dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.

Your air conditioner will install into standard double hung windows with actual
clear opening widths of 25 3/8" (645 ram) to 38" (965 ram). The lower sashmust
open sufficiently to allow a clearvertical opening of 12 112" (318 ram) (Figure 1).
Air vents at the sides and rear of the air conditioner must have clear air space to
allow sufficient air flow through the condenser for normal removal of heat. The rear
