Your Garvee Portable Air Conditioner offers multiple operating modes to suit your comfort needs.

4.1 Cool Mode

In Cool mode, the unit provides powerful cooling for rooms up to 750 sq. ft. Set your desired temperature using the up/down arrows on the control panel or remote.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your portable air conditioner.
