Auto mode
When you set the set temperature for comfortable environment, the product will change the operation mode into Auto(Cool)
or Auto(Heat) and fan speed according to the set temperature and current temperature.
Cool mode
In Cool mode, the indoor temperature, fan speed, and air ow direction can be adjusted at your desire to cool your indoor.
Dry mode
The air conditioner will act like a dehumidier by removing moisture from the indoor air.
 Turning on/o will repeat according to dierence between the current temperature and the set temperature.
Fan mode
Fan mode provides you with a breeze just like a fan to make fresh environment for you.
Heat mode
In Heat mode, the indoor temperature, fan speed, and air ow direction can be adjusted at your desire to warm your indoor.
 Indoor unit may not start the operation immediately until indoor heat exchanger is warmed up to a certain temperature
(approximately 5 minutes according to current indoor temperature) to prevent generating a cold breeze.
 Defrost indicator: When removing frost at the outdoor unit in the Heat mode, will be displayed on the indoor unit
display and it will be turned o after removing the frost.
(When removing the frost during the defrost operation in Heat mode, steam may be generated and the
warm breeze may not come out from the indoor unit.)
• When the outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high, frost may form on outdoor unit's heat exchanger
and may decrease the heating performance so the Defrost operation will operate for 5 ~ 12 minutes to get rid
of the frost on the outdoor unit heat exchanger. Indoor unit will be o during Defrost operation is on since cold
air may come out from it.
 The interval between the defrost operation can decrease depending on the amount of the frost formed on
the outdoor unit.
 The interval between defrost operation can also decrease by humidity level with rain or snow.
