Temperature

The ideal temperature is 21 to 23 degrees Celsius.

Do not raise the temperature suddenly to 26 to 28 degrees Celsius, because the air conditioner then works inefficiently and dries out the air.

If you leave the room, don't turn off the air conditioner all the time - it's better to keep it running steadily.

Air direction

When heating, direct the flaps downwards.

Warm air rises, so it's important that the air conditioner "pushes" it towards the floor.

If you have a swing option, turn it on.

Continuous work

Air conditioning is most efficient when it runs longer and more evenly.

Frequent turning on and off:

  • consumes more electricity
  • loads the device
  • creates larger temperature differences (unhealthy)

Air humidity

Heating with air conditioning dries out the air

If you can:

  • use a humidifier
  • or place a container of water near a heat source
  • Ideal humidity: 40 to 60 percent

Airing

Ventilate briefly and intensively (5 minutes).

Don't keep the window "open" for hours, as heat is lost and the air conditioner has to work harder.

The wise men

Do not sit directly under or in front of the air conditioner.

If you feel:

  • dry mouth
  • burning sensation in the throat
  • headache

This is a sign that the air is too dry or the temperature is too high.

Warm water or tea helps to avoid drying out the mucous membranes.

Maintenance

Clean filters every 2 to 4 weeks

Dirty filters:

  • they heat worse
  • they consume more electricity
  • worsen air quality
