In the hot season, air conditioners become an indispensable device for consumers. Especially for people living in densely populated urban areas, air conditioning is considered an essential "companion" for every family in the summer. However, not everyone understands all about the air conditioner you are using. Hopefully, this article will add more helpful information for consumers.
Installation
When using an air conditioner, the installation process is one of the important factors because it affects the function of use, such as machine failure, power loss, gas leakage, water leakage, reduced service life, and user health.
Information to know:
- The height difference between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit of the air conditioner is +/-5-7 m. Particularly for Mitsubishi Electric air conditioners, this height can be 12m.
- Avoid installing the indoor unit near heat-emitting devices or electronic devices to avoid affecting the operation of the machine. Because when installed near hot evaporating devices, the air conditioner will have to operate at a higher capacity, thereby wasting more electricity.
- The outdoor unit should be placed in a shady place, limiting heat sources. The more ventilation, the more "wind stasis" saves electricity..
- Because of the capacity to consume and load the air conditioner's current, as a result, it is advised to use a separate CB or a big plug for the air conditioner.
Use process
The exhaust fan should not be turned on when the air conditioner is operating unless the room is stinky or has a strange smell. The exhaust fan should be turned off immediately when the scent is gone.
Therefore, the best way to eliminate odors and bacteria is to buy products with high antibacterial deodorant features like Mitsubishi Electric's Mr. Slim air conditioners.
With three modern filters integrated into the indoor unit: Enzyme, Nano Platinum, and Plasma, it will help:
- Bacterial decomposition.
- Deodorization.
- Eliminate allergens.
Usually, the difference between outdoor and indoor temperatures of 5-7 degrees Celsius is suitable for the body's adaptability. However, according to medical experts, in the hot season, users should open the air conditioner at a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, which is the most suitable to help keep the body healthy and avoid summer diseases such as stuffy noses, sore throats, headaches, etc. dizzy when you step outside of the cold room.
In addition, many people habit turning on and off the air conditioner continuously to save electricity. But in some cases, only turn on the air conditioner for 15 minutes, turn it off, and then turn it back on 15 minutes later. This is inappropriate use because the air conditioner consumes a lot of power when restarting. The constant change from a hot-to-cold state also makes your body feel uncomfortable and prone to thermal shock.
Therefore, the most reasonable way is to choose an air conditioner with a fast and durable cooling mode.
The "Powerful Cool" function on Mitsubishi Electric air conditioners will meet users' needs thanks to the system that generates 10% higher airflow than the "high fan" speed. As a result, the machine will cool the room in less than 10 minutes. Furthermore, it will automatically return to the standard-setting but still provide a cool breeze.
Mitsubishi Electric air conditioners are rated as having the best antibacterial and fast cooling ability.
Users should note a few things:
- When the machine shows signs of a poor or not cold when turned on for 30 minutes, you should call a technician to check and repair it.
- The power should be turned off when turning off the air conditioner, not just by remote control because the air conditioner can still consume a small amount of energy when shutting down. Still, it is not much but also significant (about 10W)
Cleaning and maintenance
One of the issues that users are less concerned about is cleaning and maintenance, which will affect the operation of the machine. For example, it can cause cold air not to be emitted, becoming an environment for bacteria to grow, moisture to accumulate, causing the air conditioner to leak water...
So you need to pay attention to the following:
- The air-conditioned room area must always be dry to prevent bacteria and mold from growing.
- When the machine is not working, the room should be airy. Regularly vacuum, clean the room and dust the ceiling.
- For the air conditioner to operate effectively and sustainably, you should periodically maintain it. Ideally, every 3-4 months. However, if the frequency of use is high, it should keep about four times per year.
Mitsubishi Electric air conditioners are known as "smart air conditioners," bringing maximum convenience to users, such as the ability to clean the air conditioner themselves at home.
With only four simple steps (as shown in the picture) and without any special tools, you can still easily clean the machine, help it operate efficiently, and save maximum energy.
The most practical thing is that cleaning can save air conditioners up to 45%* of electricity compared to machines that are not cleaned (*Electricity is compared under Mitsubishi Electric's laboratory conditions between a device with 08g of dust and a machine that is wholly cleaned).
