WHEN POWER FAILURE OCCURS This air conditioner has a memory function to store settings when a power failure occurs. After power recovery, the unit will automatically re-start in the same settings which were active before the power failure, except for timer settings. If the timers were set before a power failure, they will need to be re-set after power recovery. TIPS ON SAVING ENERGY Below are some simple ways to save energy when you use your air conditioner. SET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE · Setting the thermostat 1°C higher than the desired temperature in the COOL mode will save approximately 10 percent in power consumption. · Setting the temperature lower than necessary during cooling operation will result in increased power consumption. BLOCK DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND PREVENT DRAFTS · Blocking direct sunlight during cooling operation will reduce power consumption. · Close the windows and doors during cooling operation.
