AUTO operation
When you set the air conditioner in AUTO mode, it will
automatically select cooling, heating(cooling/heating
models only), or fan only operation depending on set
temperature and the room temperature.
The air conditioner will control room temperature
automatically to the temperature point you set.
If you feel uncomfortable in the AUTO mode, you can set
your desired temperature.
SLEEP operation
When selected, the set temperature will increase (cooling)
OO
or decrease (heating) by 1 C/2 F per hour for the first 2
hours. Thereafter it keeps this new temperature for 5
hours before switching off.
This operation saves energy and improves night time
comfort by synchronising with the body s metabolism.
DRYING operation
The temperature is regulated while dehumidifying by
repeating turning on and off of the cooling operation or
fan only. The fan speed is LOW.
HEATING operation
This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump principle,
absorbing heat from air outdoors and transferring that
heat to the indoor unit. As a result, the operating
performance is reduced as outdoor air temperature drops.
If you feel that the heating performance is insufficient, we
recommend you to use this air conditioner in conjunction
with other kinds of heating appliance.
Optimal operation
To achieve optimal performance, please note the
following:
Adjust the air flow direction correctly so that it is not
forwards people.
Adjust the temperature to achieve moderate comfort
levels. Excessively low or high temperature waste
energy.
Improve performance by keeping windows and doors
closed.
Limit energy usage(run time) by using the TIMER
function.
Do not put any object near air inlet or air outlet, as the
efficiency of the air conditioner may be reduced and may
cause the air conditioner to stop running.
Inspect the air filters periodically, and clean them when
needed.
