curtains or furniture; or outside with
shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.

must fit the room size for efficient and
satisfactory operation.

most of the day.

registers so cool air does not escape up the

closed during the sunniest part of the day.
• Clean the air filter as recommended in the
section "Care and Cleaning".
