Additional Notes on Operation

Operating Temperature Range

The unit has a protective device that may prevent operation outside these ranges. Condensation may form on the air outlet in COOL or DRY mode if humidity exceeds 80%.

When Power Failure Occurs

The air conditioner remembers its settings. After power recovery, it will restart with the previous settings, except for timers, which need to be reset.

Preheating Function

In HEAT mode, the indoor fan may pause for 2-5 minutes after startup to prevent cold air from blowing.

De-icing Function

During HEAT operation, if ice forms on the outdoor heat exchanger, an automatic de-icing function runs for 5-10 minutes, stopping both fans. Operation resumes automatically afterward.

Heating Efficiency

The unit uses a heat pump. Heating efficiency depends on the outside temperature. An additional heater may be needed in very cold conditions. Warming the entire room takes time due to forced air circulation.

Tips on Saving Energy

• Set the correct temperature: Setting the thermostat 1°C higher in COOL mode or 2°C lower in HEAT mode can save approximately 10% power. Setting it lower than necessary in COOL mode increases consumption.
• Block direct sunlight and prevent drafts: Closing windows and doors reduces power consumption.
• Set proper airflow direction: Optimize air circulation.
• Keep filters clean: Ensures efficient operation.
• Take advantage of the timer off function: Use timers to manage operation.
• Disconnect power: Unplug the unit when not in use for extended periods, as it consumes a small amount of standby power.

Using the Remote Control

Loading Batteries

Use two AAA (1.5V) batteries. Remove the cover, insert batteries ensuring correct polarity, and reinstall the cover. The display shows "AM 6:00" when batteries are installed correctly.
