TIPS BEFORE INSTALLATION

Your Room Air Conditioner unit is designed to

be highly efficient and save energy. Follow these recommendations for greater efficiency.

1.Select thermostat setting that suits your comfort needs and leave the thermostat at that chosen setting.

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.

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.

Your Room Air Conditioner was designed

for easy installation in a single or double-hung window. NOTE: This unit is NOT designed for vertical (slider type) windows.

! CAUTION !

To avoid installation/operating difficulties, read the instructions thoroughly.

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.
