• Be sure the air conditioner is properly grounded. To minimize shock and fire
hazards, proper grounding is important. The power cord is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards.
Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle. If
the wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or
protected by a time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician

o
The capacity of the room air conditioner must tit the room size tor efficient and
satisfactory operation.
Install the room air conditioner on the shady side of your home. A window that
faces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.
Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or outside with
shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape
up the chimney and into the duct work.
Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the
day.
Clean the air filter as recommended in the section "Care and Cleaning."
Proper insulation and weather stripping in your home will help keep warm air
out and cool air in.
External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air
conditioner's work load.
Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and
dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.
