Tips before installation
Your RoomAir Conditioner unit is designed to
be highly efficient and save energy. Follow these
!
!
CAUTION
To avoid installation/operating difficulties,
read the instructions thoroughly.
recommendations for greater efficiency.
1. Select thermostat setting that suits your
comfort needs and leave the thermostat at
that chosen setting.
NOTE:
Save the shipping carton and packing
materials for future storage or transport of the unit.
Please check the contents of the hardware kit against
the corresponding model check list, prior to
installation of the unit.
2. The air filter is very efficient in removing airborne
particles. Keep the air filter clean. Typically, the filter
should be cleaned once a month. More
frequent cleaning may be necessary depending
on outdoor and indoor air quality.
See lists below.(Fig.A)
3. Use drapes, curtains, or shades to keep
direct sunlight from heating your room, but
DO NOT obstruct the air conditioner.Allow air to
circulate around the unit without obstructions.

4. Start your air conditioner before outdoor
air becomes hot/cold and uncomfortable. This
avoids an initial period of discomfort while
the unit is cooling or heating off the room.

5. When outdoor temperature is 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.
