Airflow Direction

Continuously press the SWING button to set the airflow direction across five different positions. Press until the desired direction is achieved.

LED Display

Press the LED button to turn the indoor unit's display and beep sound on or off. Press and hold for over 5 seconds to display the actual room temperature. Press and hold again for over 5 seconds to return to the set temperature display.

LOCK Function (VERROUILLAGE)

Function ECO/GEAR

Press the ECO/GEAR button to cycle through energy-saving modes: ECO → GEAR (75%) → GEAR (50%) → Previous setting. This function is only available in COOL mode.

Function ECO (Sleep)

In COOL mode, pressing ECO automatically sets the temperature to 24°C (75°F) with Auto fan speed for energy saving. If the set temperature is above 24°C (75°F), pressing ECO sets the fan speed to Auto without changing the temperature.

Note: Adjusting mode or temperature below 24°C (75°F) in ECO mode will stop the ECO function. If you are uncomfortable, press ECO again to turn it off.

Function GEAR (Sleep)

Press the ECO/GEAR button to activate GEAR mode: 75% (up to 75% power consumption) or 50% (up to 50% power consumption). The set temperature will reappear after 3 seconds.

Function Silence

Press and hold the Fan button for over 2 seconds to activate/deactivate the Silence function. This may result in reduced cooling/heating capacity due to low compressor frequency.

Function FP

In HEAT mode, press the button twice within one second and set the temperature to 16°C (60°F). The unit operates at high fan speed, and the temperature is automatically set to 80°C/46°F. This function is for heat pump air conditioners only. To cancel, press ON/OFF, Mode, Fan, or Temp buttons, or initiate sleep mode.

Function CLEAN (DELAY)

Press the Clean button to activate the Active Clean function. This technology removes dust, mold, and grease that cause odors by freezing them onto the heat exchanger and then rapidly defrosting the frost. The indoor unit display will show "CL" when active. After 20-45 minutes, the function automatically deactivates.

Function Turbo

In COOL mode, Turbo blows air at the highest setting for rapid cooling. In HEAT mode, Turbo blows air at the highest setting for rapid heating. For units with electric heaters, the electric heater will activate.

Overheating Function

Press and hold the Turbo button for 5 seconds in HEAT or Auto-Heat mode to activate the overheating function. Press and hold for 3 seconds to deactivate. This function improves heating speed at low temperatures. The louver opens to its maximum angle for rapid temperature achievement. Note: Cold air function is deactivated 5 minutes after compressor start, potentially causing low air outlet temperature. Activate or deactivate based on your needs.
