1. Do not locate the air conditioner where furniture or
other objects can obstruct the airflow.
2. Keep blinds/curtains closed during the warmest part
of the day.
3. Close the fireplace damper, floor and/or wall grilles, so
cool air does not escape through the chimney or
ductwork.
4. Keep the filters clean.
5. Avoid opening doors frequently.
6. Each person present in a room provides between 100
& 150Watts of heat, consequently, the more people
there are in the room, the less effective the unit will be
in cooling.
7. Set the unit to maximum cooling and high-speed
ventilation for the initial start up and then adjust the
unit to a comfortable setting.
