ECONO Operation
ECONO operation is a function which enables effi cient operation by limiting the
maximum power consumption value.
This function is useful for cases in which attention should be paid to ensure a
circuit breaker will not trip when the product runs alongside other appliances.

[Example]
Normal operation
ECONO operation
• In case the air conditioner and other
appliances which require high power
consumption are used at same time, a circuit
breaker may trip if the air conditioner operate
with its maximum capacity.
• The maximum power consumption of the air
conditioner is limited by using ECONO
operation.
The circuit breaker will hardly trip even if the
air conditioner and other appliances are used
at same time.

the LCD.
• ECONO operation is a function which enables effi cient operation by limiting the power consumption of the outdoor unit (operating frequency).
• ECONO operation functions in AUTO, COOL, DRY, and HEAT operation.
• POWERFUL and ECONO operation cannot be used at the same time.
Priority is given to the function of whichever button is pressed last.
• If the level of power consumption is already low, ECONO operation will not drop the power consumption.
