FRR095
3 Speed
AUTO
When fan speed AUTO mode (SYSTEM mode COOL or HEAT) is selected, fan speed automatically varies depending on the difference between the unit's
set point on the control panel and the actual room temperature. Let me explain. Say for example, you’re working in your garage and you open the big door for
several minutes. The system will sense a wide difference between the set point and the actual room temperature. When this occurs, the system fan speed
increases to HIGH for a period of time. The fan speed decreases, in step, as the temperature difference decreases. When the room temperature matches the
system's set point, fan speed returns to the original setting.
FAN MODE – The FA N
MODE button allows you to select between AUTOFAN and
CONTINUOUS modes.
