ENERGY SAVER FEATURE:
Press the Energy Saver button to initiate this function. This function is available on COOL, DRY, and AUTO (only AUTO-COOLING and AUTO-FAN) modes. The fan will continue to run for 3 minutes after the compressor shuts off. The fan then cycles on for 2 minutes at 10-minute intervals until the room temperature is above the set temperature, at which time the compressor turns back on and Cooling resumes.
CCOMFORTSENSE FEATURE:
The ComfortSense function enables the remote control to measure the temperature at its current location. When using AUTO, COOL, or HEAT functions, measuring ambient temperature from the remote control (instead of from the indoor unit itself) will enable the air conditioner to optimize the temperature around you and ensure maximum comfort. This feature can be activated from the remote control ONLY. The remote control will send this signal to the air conditioner every 3 minutes until the ComfortSense button is pressed again. If the unit does not receive the ComfortSense signal during any 7-minute interval, the unit will beep to indicate the ComfortSense mode has ended.
TO SELECT THE OPERATING MODE:
To choose the operating mode, press the Mode button. The unit cycles through the modes, Auto, Cool, Dry, and Fan. The adjacent indicator light will remain on once the mode is selected. The unit will automatically initiate the Energy Saver function under Cool, Dry, Auto (only Auto-Cooling and Auto-Fan) modes. To operate in Auto mode:
- The fan speed is automatically controlled based on the temperature setting and room temperature and cannot be adjusted.
- The air conditioner will control the room temperature automatically according to the temperature you’ve set.
- In this mode, the fan speed cannot be adjusted, as it’s automatically controlled according to the temperature setting and room temperature.
To operate on Fan Only:
- Use this function only when cooling is not desired, such as for room air circulation or to exhaust stale air (on some models). (Remember to open the vent during this function, but keep it closed during cooling for maximum cooling efficiency.) You can choose any fan speed you prefer.
- During this function, the display will show the actual room temperature, not the set temperature as in the cooling mode.
- In Fan Only mode, the temperature is not adjusted.
To operate in Dry mode:
In this mode, the air conditioner will generally function as a dehumidifier. Since the conditioned space is a closed or sealed area, some degree of cooling will occur.
