Remote Control Coding (for compatibility)
If the remote does not immediately control your air conditioner, it may require coding to match your specific unit. Follow these steps:
- Press and hold the SET and MODE buttons simultaneously until a two-digit remote code flashes on the display.
- Use the +/- buttons to cycle through the available codes until your air conditioner responds.
- Once the correct code is found and the air conditioner responds, press the SET button to confirm and save the code.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the remote control with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
