Cool Mode

During cool mode the fan circulates air and the compressor runs to actively cool the room. When the desired room temperature is reached the compressor will stop, but the circulation fan will continue to run. The fan speed can be adjusted.

Activating Cool Mode:

Press [Power].
Use the [Up and Down] arrow keys to set the desired temperature.
Press the [Mode] key repeatedly until "Cool" mode is selected.
If needed, press the [Fan] key on the remote or control panel to adjust fan speeds.

Fan Mode

Fan mode circulates the air but the compressor does not run. This allows you to keep air in the room moving, while not having to use extra power to actively cool the room.

Activating Fan Mode:

Press [Power].
Press the [Mode] key repeatedly until "Fan" mode is selected.
Press the [Fan Speed] key on the remote or control panel to adjust fan speeds.

Energy Saving Mode

Under normal operation, the exhaust fan cycles on and off with the compressor, and the circulation fan runs at the set speed.

Energy saver helps reduce power consumption by automatically turning off the circulation fan as well as the exhaust fan when the compressor is off. The air conditioner will automatically cycle both fans on and off with the compressor as needed for cooling.

Activating Energy Saver Mode:

Press [Power].
Use the [Up and Down] arrow keys to set the desired temperature.
Press the [Mode] key repeatedly until "Energy Saver" mode is selected.

Note

Energy Saver Mode is not available on manual (dial type) control panel models.

Dry Mode

Dry mode is used to remove humidity from the room without additional cooling. Once the set temperature is reached, the compressor and circulation fan turns off and only the exhaust fan will run. Fan speed is pre-set and cannot be adjusted.

Activating Dry Mode:

Press [Power].
Use the [Up and Down] arrow keys to set the desired temperature.
Press the [Mode] key repeatedly until "DRY" mode is selected.

Note

Dry Mode is not available on manual (dial type) control panel models.

Cool Mode

Activating Cool Mode:

Note

Control panels may vary slightly from model to model. If your control panel does not match the same configuration you can find steps on how to operate it contained within the included operation manual.
