PRECAUTIONS

NOTES ON OPERATION

Allow 3 minutes for the compressor to restart cooling.

If you turn the air conditioner off and immediately restart it, allow three minutes for the compressor to restart cooling. There is an electronic device in the unit that keeps the compressor off three minutes for protection.

If a power failure occurs during use, allow 3 minutes before restarting the unit.

After power is reinstated, restart the air conditioner. If the power was off for less than three minutes, be sure to wait at least three minutes before restarting the unit. If you restart the air conditioner within three minutes, a protective device in the unit may cause the compressor to shut off. This protective device will prevent cooling for about 5 minutes.

Memories of previous settings will be canceled and the unit will return to each initial setting.

Dehumidifying function

The air conditioner removes moisture from the air in your room.

Cooling operation under low temperatures: Is your unit freezing up?

The unit operates on inside and outside temperatures. Freezing can occur when the temperature is set close to 64°F and when there are low outside temperatures, especially during the night hours. At these conditions, a further temperature drop may cause the unit to freeze. Setting the unit to a higher temperature will prevent it from freezing.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY TIPS

Setting the proper temperature.

For optimum energy efficiency, keep the difference between the inside and outside temperature within 10°F(5°C). Do not keep the temperature setting any lower than is necessary for you to feel comfortable. Generally, 78°F to 80°F(26°C to 27°C) is a comfortable summer indoor temperature.

When you turn the unit on, do not set the temperature higher than the room temperature at start up as this will not allow the compressor to cycle and maintain a comfortable room temperature.

Avoid direct sunlight.

Close blinds, drapes or shades to keep out direct sunlight during cooling operation.

Keep the filter clean.

Keeping the filter clean greatly aids efficient operation. A dirty filter blocks the flow of air, making your air conditioner work harder and less efficiently. See page 18 on how to clean the filter.

Turn off unnecessary light.

Your air conditioner must remove the heat produced by your lights or other heat-producing appliances. Turn off lights or appliances that are not in use.

Install your air conditioner in a shady location.

Direct sunlight on a window air conditioner increases its workload and will increase its operating cost.

Don't let cool air escape.

Close windows and outside doors. Do not keep doors open and let hot air rush in. Improperly installed air conditioners and improperly weatherstripped doors and windows will let hot air in and the cool air out.

Turn off air conditioner when no one is home.

Use only when necessary. The fewer hours a room air conditioner is used, the lower the operating cost.

One of the standout features of the AF series is its Intelligent Cooling technology. This innovation allows for faster cooling times, enabling the units to reach the desired temperatures quickly, enhancing comfort during hot summer months. Additionally, these models incorporate a multi-stage filtration system, which includes a pre-filter and HEPA filter, ensuring that the air circulated is clean and free from dust, allergens, and pollutants.

Energy efficiency is a critical characteristic of the AF series. With a high Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER), these air conditioners minimize electricity consumption while providing effective cooling. This not only helps reduce utility bills but also contributes to a smaller carbon footprint, aligning with environmental sustainability goals.

The AF-R140DX and AF-R120DX models come equipped with inverter technology, allowing for variable speed compressor operation. This feature adjusts the cooling output according to the room's temperature, thereby maintaining a consistent environment without unnecessary energy expenditure. The AF-100DX, AF-S120DX, and AF-S100DX models also offer impressive performance but differ in cooling capacity and design suited for specific room sizes.

Moreover, user convenience is a priority with the AF series. Most models include a simple-to-use remote control functionality, allowing users to adjust settings from a distance. The programmable timer and sleep mode ensure that homeowners can set cooling schedules according to their preferences, enhancing comfort while optimizing energy usage.

Design-wise, Sharp’s AF air conditioners boast a sleek and modern appearance that can fit seamlessly into any room decor. Their compact size makes them suitable for both residential and commercial spaces.

In summary, the Sharp AF-R140DX, AF-100DX, AF-S120DX, AF-S100DX, and AF-R120DX air conditioners stand out with their intelligent cooling capabilities, energy-efficient operation, advanced filtration systems, and user-friendly designs, making them ideal solutions for those seeking comfort and efficiency in air conditioning.
