• Household appliances have average lifetime expectancies. Maintaining your appliances properly can extend their lifetime indefinitely.
• If you have to do any kind of repair or maintenance on this unit, make sure to unplug it from the power supply.
• Use a properly grounded outlet.
• Never run your appliances off of an extension cord. Some appliances require a lot of power. Trying to run yours off an extension cord can cause overheating or fire.
• Clean and replace any filters as recommended by the manufacturer.
• It is very important that you do not turn the unit off and back on right away. The systems’ pressure needs to equalize for several minutes before you turn it back on.
• Keep your appliance clean and dust-free. Check the evaporator coils for frost or ice buildup. Keeping it clean and ice-free will help to prolong the life of the compressor motor.
• A certain level of humidity is necessary in the home. Very dry air can make it difficult for you and your pets to breath, so don’t turn the humidistat up too high. This will make your unit run too much and probably won’t help very much. Too dry can be very uncomfortable, and can also make wood shrink, which leads to creaking, air gaps, and higher fuel costs.
