Air Conditioner Operation

Operating Sequence in Different Modes

➠ In cooling or heating mode, the air conditioner maintains the set temperature within ±1°C.

➠ If the set temperature in cooling mode is more than 1°C lower than the ambient temperature, the air conditioner will not switch on.

➠ If the set temperature in heating mode is more than 1°C higher than the ambient temperature, the air conditioner will not switch on.

➠ In AUTO mode, the temperature is not manually adjustable; the air conditioner automatically maintains a comfortable temperature of 23±2°C. If the temperature is +20°C, the unit will automatically start in heating mode. At +26°C, the unit will start in cooling mode.

➠ In DRY (Dehumidification) mode, the air conditioner maintains the set temperature within ±2°C. If, when switched on, the room temperature is more than 2°C above the set temperature, the unit will operate in cooling mode.

➠ When the temperature falls more than 2°C below the set temperature, the compressor and outdoor unit fan stop operating, while the indoor unit fan runs at low speed.

➠ In Sleep mode during cooling, after the first hour of operation, the set temperature automatically increases by 1°C; after the second hour, it increases by another 1°C. The set temperature then remains unchanged.

➠ In Sleep mode during heating, after the first hour of operation, the set temperature automatically decreases by 1°C; after the second hour, it decreases by another 1°C. The set temperature then remains unchanged.

❗👉➨ In Sleep mode, the TIMER function cannot be activated.

Additional Functions

BLOW Function (Self-Cleaning)

The BLOW (self-cleaning) function is intended for removing moisture from the evaporator surface and internal cavities of the unit. Removing moisture prevents the appearance and growth of bacteria inside the unit.

When the self-cleaning function is enabled, after switching off the unit with the ON/OFF button from COOL or DRY mode, the indoor unit fan runs at low speed for 10 minutes. The fan operation in BLOW mode can be forcibly stopped by pressing the BLOW button.

If the function is disabled, the indoor unit fan will not operate after switching off the unit with the ON/OFF button from COOL or DRY mode.

AUTO Mode

In AUTO mode, depending on the indoor air temperature, the air conditioner automatically starts operating in cooling or heating mode, creating comfortable conditions for the user.

TURBO Mode

In TURBO mode, the indoor unit fan operates at an extra-high speed in heating or cooling mode, creating an intense airflow that allows the room temperature to quickly reach the set value.

Remote Control Button Lock

If the remote control is in ON mode, pressing the “+” and “?” buttons simultaneously locks all remote control buttons. A symbol " " appears on the display. To unlock, press the “+” and “?” buttons again.

Forced Enabling/Disabling of Defrost Function

The defrost function (DEFROSTING) can be forcibly switched on or off. To do this, with the remote control in OFF mode, press the BLOW and MODE buttons simultaneously. The defrost mode will turn on or off depending on its previous state. When the function is enabled, the H1 symbol lights up in the temperature indication area.

If the function is enabled, when the air conditioner is switched on in heating mode, the H1 symbol will flash for 5 seconds. If the “+” and “?” buttons are pressed simultaneously during this time, the set temperature will be displayed instead of the H1 symbol.

Automatic Indoor Unit Defrost Function

If the indoor and outdoor temperatures are low, the heat exchanger of the indoor unit may start freezing. When the heat exchanger temperature reaches 0°C, the automatic defrost function is activated. The compressor and the fans of both the indoor and outdoor units stop operating. The indicator on the indoor unit panel flashes.
