Icon Description
It operates the cooling operation. The cooling operation can set the desired temper-
ature to 18°C ~ 30°C
Note: Setting the set temp
Because too much cooling is harmful for health, set the suitable desired temperature.
About 5°C is better for the difference between the indoor temperature and the outdoor tem-
perature. If the set temp is higher than the indoor temperature during the cooling operation,
it does not operate the cooling operation, but the wind only operation.
It drives the heating operation. The heating operation can set the desired tempera-
ture to 18°C ~ 30°C
Note: Setting the set temp
The excessive heating is harmful for the health, so set the suitable desired temperature.
About 5°C is better for the difference between the indoor temperature and the outdoor tem-
perature. If the set temp is lower than the indoor temperature during the heating operation,
it does not operate the heating operation, but the ventilation.
The dry eliminates moisture. It can effectively eliminate moisture during the rainy
season or at the high humidity condition. When it is selected, the desired tempera-
ture cannot be set.
It circulates the fresh air. The ventilation only may be used in Spring and Autumn.
