CAUTION
Regarding the Airflow of the Indoor Unit
The air that is pulled in by the fan (the “return air”) enters the
grille and is passed through the filter. It is then
cooled/dehumidified/heated through the heat exchanger.
The direction of the air output is manipulated up and down by the
motorized louver, and left to right via manually controlled vertical
deflectors. Some models may come with “dual-swing” capability,
which offers both a horizontal and vertical motorized air flow swing.
Controlling the System’s Airflow
1. Pressing the SWING buttons activates the louver.
• Press the Swing button to trigger the horizontal
flaps to swing up and down. Press this button again
to stop swing movement at the current angle.
• Press the Swing button to trigger the vertical
flaps to swing left and right. Press this button again
to stop swing movement at the current angle.
2. If the vertical deflectors (which are located
underneath the flaps) are adjusted manually,
they can be used to fix the airflow in a certain
vertical position before turning the system on.

•Do not manipulate the louvers themselves
manually, or serious damage may occur.
•Deflector adjustments should be made
only when the system is switched off.
•Never poke fingers, sticks, or other
objects into the air inlet/outlet vents.

Note: Some models come equipped with a “Gentle Wind”
function, where the unit will auto-close the vertical
louver, and provide a softer air breeze. Activate this
by pressing the and buttons together for 3
seconds.

I FEEL - To Ensure Comfort
The I FEEL feature enables the remote to act as
the temperature sensor and relay the current air
temperature of where the remote is physically
placed within the room. In some cases, this can
aid with reducing thermal drift between the set
temperature and the actual room temperature.
In order to activate this feature, press the
button, and the icon will appear on the display.

during the process. Two beeps will be emitted from
the machine when it is finished, or cancelled.
This procedure can result in some uncommon noise
coming from the machine. This noise is normal as a
side effect of the plastics expanding and contracting
due to reactions with heat and cold.
It is recommended to use this function only when
indoor temperature is under 86°F and outside
temperature is between 41°F and 86°F.
It is suggested to run this feature once every 3 months.
