Follow these recommendations for greater efficiency. 1. Select thermostat setting that suits your comfort needs and leave thermostat at that chosen setting. 2. The filter is very efficient in removing airborne particles. Keep air filter clean. Normally, filter should be cleaned every 2 weeks. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on indoor air quality. 3. Use drapes, curtains, or shades to keep direct sunlight from heating room, but DO NOT obstruct the air conditioner. Allow air to circulate around the unit without obstruction. 4. Start your air conditioner before outdoor air becomes hot and uncomfortable. This avoids an initial period of discomfort while unit is cooling off the room. 5. When outdoor temperatures are 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.
