fSAVING TIPS
Select thermostat setting that suits your comfort needs
and leave thermostat at that chosen setting.
Keep unit’s filter clean. Normally filter should be cleaned
every 30 days. Filter is very efficient in removing airborne
particles. More frequent cleaning may be necessary
depending on outside and inside air quality. To remove
filter: grasp filter tab at bottom of front grille and pull
down and out. Filter may be vacuumed or washed by
hand in warm water. Dry thoroughly and replace filter
by sliding it upward behind front grille.
Use drapes, curtains, shades, etc. to keep direct
sunlight from heating room.
Do not obstruct front of unit.
Use built-in timer to turn unit on just before you return,
rather than running unit while you are out.
When outdoor temperatures are cool enough, use fan
control in conjunction with vent control to bring cool
outside air into room. This utilizes much less electricity.
REMEMBER: Maximum cooling and heating efficiency
is achieved when vent and exhaust systems are off.
Check to make sure vent and exhaust controls are not
while unit is cooling room. Buttons pushed out close
^the vent and exhaust systems.
Your Carrier unit is designed to be highly efficient in
energy savings. Follow the above recommendations for
even greater efficiency.
