outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.• The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for

efficient and satisfactory operation.• Install the room air conditioner on the shady sideofyour home. A

window thatfaces north is best because it is shaded most of the day.• Close the fireplace damper, floorandwallregisters so coolair does

not escape upthe chimney andinto the ductwork.• Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed duringthe sunniest

part of the day.• Clean the air filteras recommended in the section "Care and Cleaning"• Proper insulation and weatherstrippingin your home will help keep

warm airout and cool airin.• External house shadingwith trees, plantsor awnings will help reduce

the airconditioner work load.• Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers

and dishwashers during the coolest part of the day.
