If the air conditioner is connected to the power supply in the ON position, it will still consume
energy even though the indoor unit is in OFF mode.
•Use curtains or blinds to prevent heat
gain from the sun light to the room.
Doing so will help reduce electric
consumption.
•Close all windows and doors when
operating the unit so that there is no
leakage of conditioned air outside the
room.
•It is good to introduce fresh air into
the room for awhile by opening the
window but not too long as energy
will be drained out.
•Do not locate a heater or any other
heat source near the unit. The heat
may deform plastic parts.
Manufacturer reserves the right to discontinue, or change at any time, specification or designs
without notice and without incurring any obligation.
