REMOTE CONTROL
PART NO. 1180866

You now own the air conditioner with the remote control that’s so
easy to use you’ll hardly believe it! We based our control on the latest
video game technology, so anyone can use it.
This book explains all of the buttons and advanced functions of your
remote control. Besides this, to make everything easy, the display
screen on top of the remote takes you through each step quickly and
clearly.
Most of the time, though, you’ll probably just press “Auto Cool” when
you use your Cool Impressions Air Conditioner. This will give you the
temperature you like in an instant.
So just think of your remote control as a video game control -just
point and shoot. It’s that easy!
