Recommendations for saving energy

Your appliance consumes energy when in use.
The consumption of energy produces an
environmental impact. Energy consumption
can be reduced enhancing the efficiency of
your appliance.
J Turn your air appliance off when it is not
needed.
J Select an ideal temperature; excessively
low temperatures result in high energy
consumption.
J Locate your appliance away from possible
heat sources (sunlight, etc.) and in a
position with good air circulation.
J Ensure that your appliance is installed
properly. The energy consumed by air
conditioning can be cut by up to 30% by
reducing the entry of heat into the room with
awnings, blinds or curtains on glazed
surfaces.
J Use the accessories supplied with your
appliance and the specific accessories
described in "Description of accessories" in
order to minimise the entry of air from
outdoors. When using accessories which
require holes to be drilled in walls or
windows, the hole should be as precise as
possible and sealed with silicon, plaster or
similar material to prevent air from flowing
through any gaps.
J It is recommended that you follow the
manufacturer's instructions concerning the
air expulsion tube (see "Ways of releasing
air outdoors") in order to prevent efficiency
loss and unnecessary energy consumption.
