It is your responsibility
to make sure your air conditioner:

supply and grounded. (See INSTALLATION

was designed.

properly.
l Is properly maintained.
To remove the Consumer Buy Guide
label and energy rating label lift one edge

-or-
2. Soak area with a liquid hand dishwash-
ing detergent before removing glue as
described in step 1.
Do not use rubbing alcohol or flammable
toxic solvents, such as acetone, gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, etc. These can damage
the material.
Do not use a sharp instrument or any
harsh or abrasive cleaners.

Energy saving tips
l Improve home insulation (seal doors, windows,
and close fireplace flue).
l Close blinds or drapes on sunny side of
house. Add window awnings.
l Keep air filter clean. Don’t block air flow with
drapes or furniture.
l Ventilate attic (high temperature levels add to
normal cooling load).
l Try not to use heat producing appliances
during the hottest part of the day. Turn lights,
radios, televisions, and other appliances
off when not needed.
l Keep heat registers and cool air returns
closed or blocked off so cooled air won’t
escape.
l Use a vent fan in areas in cooking, laundry
or bathing areas to pull out extra heat and
moisture near its source.

ditioner or turning the compressor back on. 3
