ENGLISH

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 condi-
tioner is used for many hours.
• Clean the air filter once every 2 weeks. Dust and impurities collected in the air filter may block the
air flow or weaken the cooling / dehumidifying functions.

become blocked with contaminants.
 6 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH

• For R410A model, use piping, flare nut and tools which is
specified for R410A refrigerant.
- Using of (R22) piping, flare nut and tools may cause abnor-
mally high pressure in the refrigerant cycle (piping), and pos-
sibly result in explosion and injury.
• It is desirable that the amount of residual oil less than 40
mg/10m.
