For the best cooling performance and highest energy efficiency
Keep the filter clean
Make  sure  that  your  air  conditioner  is  always  in  top 
performing condition by cleaning the filter regularly. 
In struc tions for removing and cleaning the filter can be 
found on page 7.
Provide good air flow
Make sure the airflow to and from the unit is clear. Your 
air conditioner puts the conditioned air out at the top of the 
unit, and takes in unconditioned air at the bottom. Airflow 
is critical to good operation. It is just as important on the 
outside of the build ing that the airflow around the unit 
exterior is not blocked.
Unit placement
If your air conditioner can be placed in a window or wall 
that is shaded by a tree or an oth er 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.
Insulation
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. 
Proper installation of seal gasket
Make sure the seal gasket has been installed properly to 
minimize noise and improve effi ciency. If the seal gasket 
has  not  been  installed,  please  refer  to  your  installation 
instruction manual.
