Operation Modes

Auto

In Auto mode, the air conditioner will automatically adjust the temperature and fan speed to maintain your fresh environment.

• When the indoor temperature is too high, the powerful cool breeze is generated and when the indoor room becomes cool enough, the soft breeze is generated.

Cool

The Cool mode is frequently used and you can freely control the temperature, fan speed, and air flow direction in Cool mode.

• When you select the Heat mode while the Cool mode is on, the Cool mode is cancelled.

Dry

The air conditioner in Dry mode acts like a dehumidifier by removing moisture from the indoor air. The Dry mode will provide you with fresh air even on a rainy day.

Fan

The Fan mode provides you with a breeze just like a fan to make fresh environment for you.

Heat

In Heat mode, you can warm your room even in fall and winter.

• The fan may not commence immediately to avoid generating a cold breeze.
• In Heat mode, defrost operation may be performed to remove the frost formed on the outdoor unit. (When the frost is removed by the defrost operation in Heat mode, steam is generated from the outdoor unit.)
• When you select the Cool mode while the Heat mode is on, the Heat mode is cancelled.

NOTE: When the outdoor temperature is relatively low and the humidity is relatively high in Heat mode, the outdoor unit's heating capacity may decrease due to the frost formed on the outdoor heat exchanger. The defrost operation removes the frost formed on the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit for 5 to 12 minutes. During the defrost operation, the indoor unit does not generate breeze in order to prevent cold breeze blowing out.

NOTE: The interval between defrost operations can decrease depending on the amount of the frost formed on the outdoor unit.

NOTE: The interval between defrost operations can also decrease depending on the humidity level in the air.
