ENERGY SAVING TIPS
FOR YOUR SAFETY: Read these instructions carefully before operating the unit.
Your Danby appliance is designed to be highly efficient in energy
savings. Follow these recommendations for greater efficiency.
1) Select a thermostat setting that suits your comfort needs and leave at
that chosen setting.
2) The air filter is very efficient in removing airborne particles. Keep the air
filter clean at all times. (usually cleaned every 2 weeks depending on
indoor air quality).
3) Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep direct sunlight from penetrating
and heating the room, but do not allow drapes or curtains to obstruct
the air flow around the unit.
4) Start your air conditioner before the outdoor air becomes hot and
uncomfortable, to avoid an initial period of discomfort while the unit is
cooling off the room.
5) When outdoor temperatures are cool enough, use HIGH or LOW FAN
only. This circulates indoor air, providing some cooling comfort, and
utilizes less electricity than when operating on a cooling setting.
