Energy-Saving Tips

Your Danby appliance is designed to be highly efficient in energy savings. Follow these recommendations for greater efficiency.

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

2)The air filter is very efficient in removing airborne particles. Keep the air filter clean at all times.

3)Use drapes, curtains or shades to keep direct sunlight from penetrating and heating room, but do not allow drapes or curtains to obstruct the air flow around the unit.

Electric Shock Hazard

To avoid the possibility of personal injury, disconnect power to the unit before installing or servicing.

4)Start your air conditioner before the outdoor air becomes hot and uncomfortable. This avoids an initial period of discomfort while the unit is cooling off the room. Use of the automatic start/stop programmable TIMER feature can be a major asset in this regard if utilized to the fullest extent.

5)When outdoor temperatures are cool enough, turn the air conditioner off and use the FAN MODE on HIGH, MED or LOW. This circulates indoor air, providing some cooling comfort and utilizes less electricity.

There should be at least 11.8" (30 cm) clearance between the unit and any other objects or building structure. The unit should be installed on a level surface. The window kit does not have to be installed during Dehumidifying/Fan mode operation.

CAUTION

To avoid installation/operation difficulties,

read these instructions thoroughly.
