Make sure that your air conditioner is always in top performing condition by cleaning the filter regularly. Instructions for removing and cleaning the filter can be found on page 7.
Make sure that the airflow to and from the unit is clear. Your air conditioner puts the air out at the side of the unit, and takes in air at the left. Airflow is critical for good operation. It is just as important on the outside of the building that the airflow around the unit exterior is not blocked.
If your air conditioner can be placed in a window or a wall that is shaded by a tree or another building, the unit will operate even more efficiently. Using drapes or blinds on the sunny side of the dwelling will also add to your unit's efficiency.
Good insulation will be a big help in maintaining desirable comfort levels. Doors should have weather stripping. Be sure to caulk around doors and windows.
