Energy Saving Guide

Read and follow the guide below to get the best performance and
efficiency from your portable air conditioner:
 Do not cover the air outlet (exhaust) while in use.

 Do not place the unit in front of curtains or drapes- to ensure

they do not obstruct the air intake.

 Minimize the length of the exhaust hose.

 Make sure the exhaust hose is as straight as possible and avoid

kinks or bends.

 Keep curtains, blinds or drapes closed during the sunniest part

of the day.

 Use the timer to operate the unit before it is needed. For

example, set the timer to turn on the unit in cooling mode for 3
or more hours to cool the room before you arrive. You may want
to operate the unit all day if you live in a warmer climate.

 Minimize the heat sources (direct sunlight, computers, servers,

people, etc.) in the room.

 Close all windows and doors.

 Use the unit in a contained room. For example, a room with four

walls and a ceiling, instead of a partitioned studio, or
warehouse.

 Make sure the unit is on a level surface.

 Minimize the amount of humidity in the room. For example, run

the unit as a dehumidifier.

 To prolong the compressor's life, please wait at least 3 minutes

before turning the unit back on after shutting it off.

 Inspect and keep the pre-filters clean by cleaning regularly.

 Inspect and replace the activated carbon filters regularly.

 Perform

routine

maintenance.
