Remote Control Functions

“ANTI-F” Function

This function prevents the formation of mold and fungi on the indoor unit heat exchanger. After turning off the air conditioner via the remote control, the indoor unit will automatically continue operating in ventilation mode for 3 minutes to dry the heat exchanger.

❗👉➨ Note: The “ANTI-F” function is activated only after operating in cooling or dehumidification mode. It is not recommended to restart the air conditioner until the “ANTI-F” cycle is completed.

“iCLEAN” Function

This function initiates an automatic self-cleaning program of the indoor unit using freezing and condensation. The program helps maintain the cleanliness of the heat exchanger by removing accumulated dust and dirt, and consists of 3 stages:

➠ Operation in cooling mode for up to 15 minutes (accumulation of condensate and/or formation of frost/ice);
➠ Operation in heating mode for up to 10 minutes (defrosting accumulated frost/ice, drying residual condensate, and sterilizing the heat exchanger);
➠ Operation in ventilation mode for up to 10 minutes (final drying of the heat exchanger and equalizing the indoor unit temperature).

❗👉➨ Note: When this function is running, the indoor unit display will show the code “CL”.

“HEALTH” Function

This function turns the built-in air ionizer on or off.

“ECO” Function

This function enables or disables the energy-saving mode of the air conditioner.

“SLEEP” Function

This function activates the comfort sleep mode. In this mode, the indoor unit display turns off, and the temperature setting changes automatically according to a preset pattern.

➠ In cooling mode — increases the temperature setting by 1 °C after 1 hour, and by another 1 °C after 2 hours from activation. The setting then remains unchanged. The air conditioner stops operating in comfort sleep mode after 10 hours and returns to normal operation.

➠ In heating mode — decreases the temperature setting by 1 °C after 1 hour, and by another 1 °C after 2 hours from activation. The setting then remains unchanged. The air conditioner stops operating in comfort sleep mode after 10 hours and returns to normal operation.

❗👉➨ Note: In “SLEEP” mode, the fan speed is not adjusted automatically — set it manually if needed.

“SILENCE” Function

This function enables quiet operation mode, in which the air conditioner operates with the minimum fan and compressor speed. Pressing the button will deactivate the “SILENCE” function.

“DISPLAY” Function

This function enables or disables the indoor unit display.

“LIGHT” Function*

This function enables illumination level tracking in the room for automatic on/off control of the indoor unit display.

“I-FEEL” Function

This function enables room temperature tracking via the temperature sensor in the remote control, ensuring maximum comfort in the user’s location (remote control position).

❗👉➨ Note:
➠ This function requires periodic transmission of information from the remote control to the indoor unit. Ensure there is direct visibility and a distance of no more than 8 m between them.
➠ Do not cover the air exchange vent on the back of the remote control during operation, as this may reduce temperature measurement accuracy.
➠ The current room temperature is displayed on the remote control when this function is active.

“ELE.H” Function

This function turns the additional electric heater on or off, if installed in the air conditioner.

❗👉➨ Note: The “ELE.H” function is automatically activated when switching the air conditioner to heating mode.

Operating Procedure

1. After connecting the air conditioner to the power supply, press the ON/OFF button to turn it on.

2. Use the MODE button to select cooling (COOL) or heating (HEAT) mode.

3. Press the TEMP button.

4. Use the [+] or [—] buttons to set the target temperature between 16 and 30 °C.
In AUTO mode, the temperature is set automatically and cannot be adjusted from the remote.

5. Use the FAN button to select the desired fan speed:

AUTO FAN (automatic), LOW (low speed), MID (medium speed), HIGH (high speed).

6. Use buttons (11) SWING 1 and (12) SWING 2 to adjust the louver swing mode. To enable SLEEP, TIMER, TURBO, or LIGHT functions, press the corresponding buttons.

Airflow Direction Adjustment

1. Horizontal airflow direction (right–left) and vertical airflow direction (up–down) are adjusted using the remote control.

2. When starting the air conditioner, do not set the horizontal louvers too far upward or downward, as this may reduce cooling or heating efficiency.

3. To avoid control system malfunctions, do not manually adjust horizontal or vertical louvers. If louver operation is disrupted, turn off the air conditioner, unplug it, wait a few minutes, then plug it in again and turn it on.

4. To prevent condensation from forming on vertical louvers and dripping onto the floor during extended operation in cooling or dehumidification modes, do not direct the airflow downward.

5. Upon restarting the air conditioner, the horizontal louvers may remain stationary for about 10 seconds.

6. When turning on the air conditioner for the first time, noise may be heard as the horizontal louvers rotate. This is normal and should be ignored.

7. Carefully read this manual and strictly follow the instructions to avoid serious air conditioner malfunctions, injuries, or property damage.
