Safety Precautions

➠ The remote control is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it and avoid using it for entertainment purposes.

➠ When operating the remote control, point its signal transmitter towards the indoor unit of the air conditioner while pressing the buttons. The indoor unit confirms signal reception with a short beep.

➠ The signal can be received at a distance of up to 8 meters in a straight line from the indoor unit, at an angle of up to 45° to the left and right. There should be no obstacles between the remote control and the unit.

➠ Keep the remote control at least 1 meter away from television and radio equipment.

➠ Do not drop the remote control or subject it to strong impacts. Protect it from direct sunlight, keep it away from heat sources, do not expose it to water, and avoid storing it in places with high humidity.

➠ Do not use sharp objects to press the buttons, as this may damage the remote control. Do not clean it with gasoline, solvents, chemically treated wipes, or similar agents.

➠ If the remote control does not function properly, remove the batteries, wait 30 seconds, and reinstall them. If it still does not work, replace the batteries.

❗👉➨ Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for a long period of time.

Designation of Remote Control Elements and Their Functions

The illustration shows a standard remote control with all functional buttons. These may slightly differ from the buttons on your remote control depending on the model.

❗👉➨ Attention Depending on your air conditioner model, some buttons on the remote control may be non-functional.

1. ON/OFF (Power Button)

Pressing this button turns the air conditioner on, and the “ON” indicator appears on the remote display. Pressing it again turns the unit off, displaying “OFF” on the screen. When turned on, the air conditioner resumes its previous settings.

2. MODE (Mode Selection)

Each press changes the operating mode in the following sequence:

... → AUTO (Automatic) → Cool → Dry → Heat → Fan → ...

❗👉➨ In cooling-only air conditioners, the heating mode is not available.

When first powered on, the device defaults to AUTO mode.

In automatic mode, the air conditioner selects cooling or heating based on the indoor temperature, maintaining optimal comfort. The target temperature is not displayed on the remote control screen and cannot be adjusted.

In fan mode, only the indoor unit’s fan operates. The air conditioner does not regulate room temperature in this mode. The target temperature is not displayed and cannot be changed.

❗👉➨ Attention The air conditioner does not supply fresh air.

..

3. SPEED (Fan Speed)

Each press changes the fan speed of the indoor unit (airflow speed) as follows:

... → Automatic → Low → Medium → High → ...

The remote control display shows the corresponding fan speed:

... - "AUTO" (Automatic) - "LOW" - "MID" - "HIGH" - ...

Automatic fan speed depends on the difference between the target temperature and the ambient air temperature.

❗👉➨ In fan mode, the automatic fan speed function is not available.

4. Temperature Increase Button

Each press increases the target temperature by 1°C, within the range of +16°C to +32°C. The set target temperature is shown on the remote control display and on the indoor unit’s front panel.

Air Conditioner Operation

Operating Modes Behavior

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

➠ In cooling mode, if the set temperature is lower than the ambient temperature by more than 1°C, the air conditioner will not start.

➠ In heating mode, if the set temperature is higher than the ambient temperature by more than 1°C, the air conditioner will not start.

➠ In AUTO mode, the temperature cannot be set manually. The unit automatically maintains a comfortable temperature of 23±2°C. At 20°C, the air conditioner switches to heating mode; at 26°C, it switches to cooling mode.

➠ In dehumidifying (DRY) mode, the air conditioner maintains the set temperature within ±2°C. If the room temperature is more than 2°C above the set value at startup, the unit will operate in cooling mode.

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

➠ In “Sleep” mode during cooling, the set temperature automatically increases by 1°C after the first hour and by another 1°C after the second hour, then remains unchanged.

➠ In “Sleep” mode during heating, the set temperature automatically decreases by 1°C after the first hour and by another 1°C after the second hour, then remains unchanged.

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