MODES OF OPERATION, FUNCTIONS
AND FEATURES
COOL Cools, dehumidifies and filters the room air. Maintains desired room temperature.
AUTO Automatically switches from COOLING to HEATING or from HEATING to
COOLING, maintaining the desired temperature according to the room conditions.
Dehumidifies and softly cools the room In DRY Mode, the air conditioner operates
at an increased dehumidifying power. This function is recommended to be used
when temperature is rather low but the humidity is high.
DRY
FA NRecirculates and filters the room air. Maintains constant air movement in the room.
AUTO FAN
The air conditioner automatically selects the FAN speed in accordance with the
room temperature. At the start, the unit operates at high fan speed. As the room
air approaches to the desired temperature, the fan switches to a lower speed
for quieter operation.
I FEEL
Switches the temperature sensing point to the place where the remote control is
located. (Generally the temperature sensor is located behind the intake grille of
the air conditioner). This function is designed to provide a personalized
environment by transmitting the temperature control command from the location
next to you. The communication between the Remote Control and the unit is
done by infra-red signal. Therefore, in using this function, the Remote Control
should always be aimed, without obstructions, at the air conditioner.
TIMER
Real time control and display , automatically turns the air conditioner ON and
OFF according to the time of day setting, ensuring comfort conditions before
returning home, without wasting electricity. It turns the air conditioner off
automatically when sleeping.
HEAT Heats and filters the room air. Maintains desired room temperature.
SLEEP
Designed to create comfortable sleeping conditions. When in COOLING mode,
the temperature rises one degree centigrade after each consecutive hour, up to
three hours, from the start of the mode. The temperature rise prevents the feeling
of over-cooling while sleeping (when your body is at rest). In HEATING mode
the reverse occurs; the air conditioner lowers its temperature one degree every
hour. When in SLEEP mode, the air conditioner will be automatically turned off
after seven hours. The result is a more comfortable and invigorating sleep, which
leaves you feeling fresh and energetic in the morning.
HOT KEEP
IN HEATING and in AUTO FAN, the fan will be turned off when the compressor
is not in operation and will not be started, unless the indoor coil reaches
adequate temperature. This HOT KEEP feature prevents uncomfortable cold air
drafts. Use of AUTO FAN is, therefore, recommended when air conditioner
is in HEATING mode.
4

AUTO FLAP
(LOUVRE)
The air flap (louvre) is automatically positioned for the most suitable blow-out
angle, when COOL, HEAT, DRY or FAN modes are selected. When the air
conditioner is turned off, the flap will close automatically for an aesthetic
appearance.
ON UNIT
OPERATION
Freezes the last operation setting on the remote control. When LOCK is
activated, the remote control will not be able to control the air-conditioner
.
A soft buzzer will sound from indoor unit display to indicate that a
command sent by the remote control has been accepted and stored in the
unit’s memory. This feature may be easily cancelled bu the user from
the display panel.
BUZZER
HORIZONTAL
AIR SWING
Automatic swing of Horizontal air flow in Horizontal direction.
The flap move automatically in right and left direction to spread the
conditioned air evenly throughout the room.
VERTICAL
AIR SWING
Automatic swing of supply air in vertical direction. The flap moves
automatically in upward and downward direction to spread the conditioned
air evenly throughout the room.
Measures and displays room temperature.
ROOM
TEMPERATURE
The air conditioner can be turned ON for COOLING or HEATING or be
turned OFF directly from the indoor unit display panel without the use
of the remote control.
LOCK
3-MIN
DELAYED RUN
This compressor is protected by a three minute delayed restart.
The microprocessor retains the last data entry whether or not the unit is
plugged in. Therefore, when the unit restarts after a power disruption or
failure, it will resume operating in the same mode as before the power
was disrupted.
MEMORY
This function can induct the fresh air from outside into the room and make
your room more fresh.
FRESH AIR
(optional)
They are capable of capturing small particles down to 0.1 microns,
such as atmosphere and household dust, coal dust, insecticide dust,
mites, pollen, pet danger, tobacco smoke particles, cooking smoke and
grease, mould fungi, bacteria, viruses and more.
ELECTROSTATIC
FILTER
IONIZER makes the air more fresh and more comfort.
Slide switch (O) to the ON position and use the remote control to activate the
IONIZER. The blue light indicator (N) on the unit will light up indicating the
IONIZER in operation. To cancel the operation set slide switch to OFF
position. Important Notice: When the air conditioner is turned OFF or if
the indoor fan stops operation the IONIZER stops automatically.

sources such as lamps, heaters, direct sun, etc. or from being directly affected by
the air conditioner air flow. These may cause the sensor to transmit the wrong
temperature data, thereby disturbing the performance of the I FEEL function.
