How to Use Advanced Functions

Swing function

• Press the Swing button. The horizontal louver swings up and down automatically. Press again to stop.
• Keep pressing the Swing button for more than 2 seconds to activate the vertical louver swing function (Model dependent).

Airflow direction

Each time you press the button, it adjusts the louver by 6 degrees. Press until the desired direction is reached.

LED DISPLAY

• Press the LED DISPLAY button to turn the display and buzzer on/off on the indoor unit.
• Press this button for more than 5 seconds (some units) to display the actual room temperature. Press again for more than 5 seconds to revert to the setting temperature.

ECO function

Press this button under COOL Mode to enter the energy-efficient mode. (For models of RG51A/E, RG51A(1)/EU1, RG51A/CE, RG51A10/E, RG51Y5/E). Note: This function is only available under COOL mode.

Under cooling mode, pressing this button adjusts the temperature automatically to 24°C/75°F and fan speed to Auto to save energy (only when the set temperature is less than 24°C/75°F). If the set temperature is above 24°C/75°F, the fan speed changes to Auto, and the set temperature remains unchanged.

NOTE:

• Pressing the ECO button, or modifying the mode or adjusting the set temperature to less than 24°C/75°F will stop ECO operation.
• Under ECO operation, the set temperature should be 24°C/75°F or above. It may result in insufficient cooling. If you feel uncomfortable, press the ECO button again to stop it.

SHORTCUT function

Used to restore current or previous settings. (For models of RG51B/E, RG51B(1)/EU1, RG51B/CE, RG51B10/E, RG51Y6/E)

• Push this button when the remote controller is on; the system automatically reverts to previous settings (operating mode, temperature, fan speed, sleep feature if activated).
• If pushed for more than 2 seconds, the system automatically restores current operation settings (operating mode, temperature, fan speed, sleep feature if activated).

SLEEP function

The SLEEP function decreases energy use while you sleep, as you do not need the same temperature settings for comfort. This function can only be activated via remote control. The sleep function is not available in Fan or Dry mode. Please refer to the OWNER'S MANUAL for more details.

Silence function

Keep pressing the Fan button for more than 2 seconds to activate/disable Silence function (some units).

Due to low frequency operation of the compressor, it may result in insufficient cooling and heating capacity. Pressing ON/OFF, Mode, Sleep, Turbo, or Clean button while operating will cancel the silence function.

FP function

Press this button 2 times within one second under HEAT Mode and setting temperature of 17°C/62°F or 20°C (for models of RG51A10/E & RG51B10/E) to activate the FP function. The unit will operate at high fan speed (while compressor is on) with the temperature automatically set to 8°C/46°F.

Note: This function is for heat pump air conditioners only.

Press this button 2 times within one second under HEAT Mode and setting temperature of 17°C/62°F or 20°C (for models of RG51A10/E and RG51B10/E) to activate the FP function. Press On/Off, Sleep, Mode, Fan, and Temp. buttons while operating will cancel this function.

Temperature display

Press together the ▲ and ▼ buttons at the same time for 3 seconds to alternate the temperature display between °C and °F (Applicable for models of RG51A(1)/EU1 and RG51B(1)/EU1 only).
