Operation with the Remote Control Unit (continued)

Choose the best position in the room for the remote control unit, which 
also acts as the sensor for room comfort and transmits the operating 
instructions. Once you’ve found this best position, always keep the remote 
control unit there.

This appliance has a built-in 5-minute time delay circuit to ensure reliable 
operation. When the operation button is pressed, the compressor will start 
running within three minutes. In the event of power failure, the unit will 
stop. 

3.  Adjusting the Fan Speed

A.  Automatic fan speed

Simply set the FAN SPEED selector button to the 

 position.

This automatically sets the best fan speed for the room temperature.

B.  Manual fan speed

If you want to adjust fan speed manually during operation, just set the FAN 
SPEED selector button as desired. [

, or 

]

4.  Fan Only

If you want to circulate air without any temperature control, follow these steps:

STEP 1

Press the MODE selector button to switch to the fan mode 

.

STEP 2

Press the ON/OFF operation button.

STEP 3

Press the FAN SPEED selector button to select the fan 
speed of your choice (

 or 

).
