Basic Operation
Auto
In Auto mode, the air conditioner will automatically adjust
the temperature and fan speed to maintain your fresh
environment.
• When the indoor temperature is too high, the powerful cool
breeze is generated and when the indoor room becomes cool
enough, the soft breeze is generated.
Cool
The Cool mode is frequently used and you can freely control
the temperature, fan speed, and air flow direction in Cool
mode.
• When you select the Heat mode while the Cool mode is on,
the Cool mode is cancelled.
Dry
The air conditioner in Dry mode acts like a dehumidifier by
removing moisture from the indoor air. The Dry mode will
provide you with fresh air even on a rainy day.
Fan
The Fan mode provides you with a breeze just like a fan to
make fresh environment for you.

Basic Operation
Heat
In Heat mode, you can warm your room even in fall and
winter.
• The fan may not commence immediately to avoid generating
a cold breeze.
• In Heat mode, defrost operation may be performed to remove
the frost formed on the outdoor unit. (When the frost is
removed by the defrost operation in Heat mode, steam is
generated from the outdoor unit.)
• If you stop operating the air conditioner after heating
operation, the fan will operate for some time to cool the
indoor unit.
• When you select the Cool mode while the Heat mode is on,
the Heat mode is cancelled.
NOTE
• When the outdoor temperature is relatively low and the humidity
is relatively high in Heat mode, the outdoor unit's heating
capacity may decrease due to the frost formed on the outdoor
heat exchanger. The defrost operation removes the frost formed
on the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit for 5 to 12 minutes.
During the defrost operation, the indoor unit does not generate
breeze in order to prevent cold breeze blowing out.
– The interval between defrost operations can decrease
depending on the amount of the frost formed on the outdoor
unit.
– The interval between defrost operations can also decrease
depending on the humidity level in the air.
