TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

Here are some tips that will help you minimize the power consumption when you use the air conditioner. You can use your air conditioner more efficiently by referring to the instructions below:

• Do not cool excessively indoors. This may be harmful for your health and may consume more electricity.
• Block sunlight with blinds or curtains while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Keep doors or windows closed tightly while you are operating the air conditioner.
• Adjust the direction of the air flow vertically or horizontally to circulate indoor air.
• Speed up the fan to cool or warm indoor air quickly, in a short period of time.
• Open windows regularly for ventilation as the indoor air quality may deteriorate if the air conditioner is used for many hours.

– For a noise that sounds like water flowing.

• This is the sound of freon flowing inside the air conditioner unit.
  – For a noise that sounds like the compressed air releasing into
  atmosphere.
  – This is the sound of the dehumidifying water being
  processed inside the air conditioning unit.| Crack sound is heard.
  – This sound is generated by the
  expansion / constriction of the
  front panel, etc. due to changes of temperature.| Remote control display is faint, or no display at all.
  – Are the batteries depleted?
  – Are the batteries inserted in the opposite (+) and (-)
  directions?
