Air conditioner companies say they want people to check whether their units work properly before summer arrives.

温度を16℃から18℃にして、冷たい風が出るかどうか、10分ぐらい調べてください。

Set the temperature to 16°C to 18°C and check for about 10 minutes whether cold air comes out.

After that, run it for about 30 minutes and check whether any strange noises, smells, or water come from the air conditioner.

夏になると、壊れたという連絡が増えるので、直すのに時間がかかります。

Once summer comes, reports of broken units increase, so repairs take longer.
