Setting the TIMER

TIMER ON/OFF - Set the amount of time after which the unit will automatically turn on/off.

TIMER ON Setting

1. Press the [TIMER ON] button to initiate the ON time sequence.
2. Press [TEMP ▲] or [TEMP ▼] buttons multiple times to set the desired time to turn on the unit.
3. Point the remote to the unit and wait 1 second; the TIMER ON will be activated.

TIMER OFF Setting

1. Press the [TIMER OFF] button to initiate the OFF time sequence.
2. Press [TEMP ▲] or [TEMP ▼] buttons multiple times to set the desired time to turn off the unit.
3. Point the remote to the unit and wait 1 second; the TIMER OFF will be activated.

NOTE:

1. When setting the TIMER ON or TIMER OFF, the time will increase by 30-minute increments with each press, up to 10 hours. After 10 hours and up to 24, it will increase in 1-hour increments. (For example, press 5 times to get 2.5h, and press 10 times to get 5h.) The timer will revert to 0.0 after 24.
2. Cancel either function by setting its timer to 0.0h.

TIMER ON & OFF Setting (Example)

Keep in mind that the time periods you set for both functions refer to hours after the current time.

Example: If the current time is 1:00 PM, to set the timer as above steps, the unit will turn on 2.5 hours later (3:30 PM) and turn off at 6:00 PM.

How to Use Advanced Functions

Swing Function

Press the [SWING] button. The horizontal louver will swing up and down automatically. Press again to make it stop.

Keep pressing the [SWING] button for more than 2 seconds; the vertical louver swing function is activated (Model dependent).

Airflow Direction

Each time you press the [DIRECT] button, it will adjust the louver by 6°. Press the button until the direction you prefer is reached.

LED DISPLAY

Press the [LED DISPLAY] button to turn on and turn off the display on the indoor unit.

Press this button for more than 5 seconds (some units). The indoor unit will display the actual room temperature. Press for more than 5 seconds again to revert back to displaying the setting temperature.

Advanced Functions (Continued)

ECO Function

Press this button under COOL Mode to enter the energy efficient mode. (For models RG51A(2)/E, RG51A(2)/EU1, RG51A(2)/CE, RG51A10(2)/E, RG51Y7(2)/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, pressing the [ECO] button changes the fan speed to Auto, while 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; otherwise, it may result in insufficient cooling. If you feel uncomfortable, just press the [ECO] button again to stop it.

SHORTCUT Function

Used to restore the current settings or resume previous settings. (For models RG51B(2)/E, RG51B(2)/EU1, RG51B(2)/CE, RG51B10(2)/E, RG51B10(2)/CE, RG51Y8(2)/E)

Push this button when the remote controller is on; the system will automatically revert back to the previous settings including operating mode, setting temperature, fan speed level, and sleep feature (if activated). If pushing for more than 2 seconds, the system will automatically restore the current operation settings including operating mode, setting temperature, fan speed level, and sleep feature (if activated).

SLEEP Function

The [SLEEP] function is used to decrease energy use while you sleep (and don't need the same temperature settings to stay comfortable). 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.

Additional Functions

Silence Function

Keep pressing the [FAN SPEED] 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] buttons while operating will cancel the silence function.

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 conditioner only. Press the [FP] button 2 times within one second under HEAT Mode and setting temperature of 16°C/60°F or 20°C/68°F (for models RG51A10(2)/E, RG51B10(2)/E, RG51B10(2)/CE) to activate FP function. Pressing [ON/OFF], [SLEEP], [MODE], [FAN SPEED], and [TEMP] buttons while operating will cancel this function.
