REMOTE CONTROL FEATURES AND SETTINGS

Remote Control Layout

The remote control is a rectangular device with a display screen at the top. Below the screen are various buttons:

1. Power Button: Starts or stops the unit.
2. COOL Button: Operates the unit in cooling mode. When FAN is AUTO, the heat pump automatically adjusts fan speed. The snowflake icon ❄️ is displayed.
3. HEAT Button: Operates the unit in heating mode, providing warm air. When FAN is AUTO, the heat pump automatically adjusts fan speed. The sun icon ☀️ is displayed.
4. Temperature +/- Buttons: Increase or decrease the temperature setting. The operating range is 60°F-86°F (16°C-30°C).
5. FAN SPEED Button: Cycles through fan speed settings (LOW, MED, HI, AUTO).
6. DRY Button: Reduces humidity. In DRY mode, if room temperature is lower than the set temperature +2°F, the unit runs intermittently at LOW speed. The water drop icon ? is displayed.
7. FAN MODE Button: Circulates air only; no temperature adjustment. Use the fan speed button (5) to adjust speed from Auto, Low, Medium to High. Turbo and Quiet are not available.
8. TURBO Button: Provides the fastest airflow in Heating or Cooling modes. Displays the TURBO icon [↑]. Pressing again or using the FAN SPEED button turns TURBO off.

Sleep Function Logic Description

The SLEEP function adjusts temperature settings for comfort. The logic is as follows:

COOL or DRY modes: After 1 hour, the temperature setting increases by 1°F. After 7 hours, it increases by another 1°F. The unit turns off after 8 hours.
HEAT mode: After 1 hour, the temperature setting decreases by 2°F. After 7 hours, it decreases by another 2°F. The unit turns off after 8 hours.

EMERGENCY OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Emergency Operation

Use this function only when the remote control is defective or lost. Pressing the emergency operation switch causes the unit to beep once. The unit will run automatically in the following modes:

Above 73°F room temperature: 79°F designated temperature, AUTO mode, COOL operation.
Below 73°F room temperature: 73°F designated temperature, AUTO mode, HEAT operation.

During emergency operation, temperature or fan speed cannot be changed, nor can Timer or Dry modes be used.

Inserting the Batteries

1. Remove the battery cover. 2. Insert 2 AAA batteries, observing polarity. 3. Reinstall the battery cover.

NOTE: The remote control should be less than 23 feet from the receiver without obstructions. Weak display or reduced range may indicate the need for battery replacement. Malfunctions can sometimes be corrected by removing and reinstalling batteries.

Optimizing Performance

Close doors and windows during operation: This helps maintain the desired room temperature and improves efficiency.

Do not block the air inlet or outlet: Ensure unobstructed airflow for proper unit function.

Prevent direct sunlight: During cooling operation, use curtains or blinds to block direct sunlight for better efficiency.

Cleaning the Front Cover

1. Open the front cover by pulling it upward.

2. Remove the filter: Gently push the filter's center tab upward to release it from the stopper, then remove the filter downwards.

3. Clean the filter: Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust, or wash with water. Dry the filter completely.

4. Attach the filter: Ensure the "FRONT" label faces outward and the filter is securely attached behind the holding tabs. Improper attachment may reduce efficiency.

5. Close the front cover.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

For additional troubleshooting tips, see the full installation manual at GEAppliances.com/ductless or Haierappliances.com/ductless

Problem	Cause and Solution
Normal Performance Inspection: The system does not restart immediately.	When the unit is stopped, it will not restart again for 3 minutes to protect the system. When electricity is disconnected then reconnected, the protection circuit will be active for 3 minutes to protect the heat pump.
Noise is heard	During unit operation or a sudden stop, a swishing or gurgling noise may be heard (first 2-3 minutes after start-up). This noise is generated by refrigerant flowing in the system. A cracking noise may be heard due to casing expansion/shrinking from temperature changes. A loud airflow noise might indicate a dirty air filter.
Odors	The system circulates odors lingering in the airstream (e.g., furniture, paint, cigarettes).
Mist or steam is blowing out	During COOL or DRY mode, the indoor unit may blow out mist or steam due to sudden cooling of the indoor air.
In DRY mode, fan speed cannot be changed	In DRY mode, when room temperature is lower than the set temperature by 2°F, the unit runs intermittently at LOW speed regardless of FAN setting.
Poor Cooling	Is there a power failure? Is the circuit breaker off? Is the fuse blown? Is the air filter dirty? Is there anything blocking the inlet and/or outlet? Is the temperature set correctly? Are there any doors or windows open? Is there any direct sunlight shining through the window during the cooling operation? Are there too many heat sources or too many people in the room during cooling operation?
