Keep pressing the FAN button for more than 2 seconds to activate/disable the Silence function. Due to low frequency operation of the compressor, this may result in insufficient cooling and heating capacity. Pressing ON/OFF, Mode, Sleep, Turbo, or Clean button while operating will cancel the silence function.

ECO/GEAR Function

Press this button to enter the energy efficient mode in a sequence: ECO → GEAR(75%) → GEAR(50%) → Previous setting mode → ECO.

Note: This function is only available under COOL mode.

• ECO Operation: Under cooling mode, pressing this button adjusts the temperature 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, 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; otherwise, it may result in insufficient cooling. If uncomfortable, press the ECO button again to stop it.
• GEAR Operation: Press the ECO/GEAR button to enter GEAR operation: 75% (up to 75% electrical energy consumption) → 50% (up to 50% electrical energy consumption) → Previous setting mode.

Under GEAR operation, the display on the remote controller alternates between electrical energy consumption and set temperature.

Turbo Function

Press the Turbo button:

When setting the panel status, press the ∧ or ∨ buttons of the remote controller to control the rise or fall of the grille, and press any other button to exit the setting.

Breeze Away Function (?)

This feature avoids direct airflow blowing on the body and provides a feeling of silky coolness. Note: This feature is available under COOL, FAN, and DRY modes only.

Active Clean Function (?)

The Active Clean Technology washes away dust, mold, and grease that may cause odors by automatically freezing and then rapidly thawing the frost on the heat exchanger. When this function is turned on, the indoor unit display window shows "CL". After 20 to 45 minutes, the unit will turn off automatically and cancel the CLEAN function.

Follow Me Function (?)

The FOLLOW ME function enables the remote control to measure the temperature at its current location and send this signal to the air conditioner every 3 minutes. When using AUTO, COOL, or HEAT modes, measuring ambient temperature from the remote control (instead of the indoor unit) optimizes the air conditioner's performance for maximum comfort. Note: Press and hold the Turbo button for seven seconds to start/stop the memory feature of the Follow Me function.

• If the memory feature is activated, "On" displays for 3 seconds.
• If the memory feature is stopped, "OF" displays for 3 seconds.
