ADJUSTING THE VERTICAL AIRFLOW DIRECTION

Please operate with the remote controller. (Moving by hands may cause malfunction.)  

Set automatically

• 

Air conditioner automatically set to the suitable 
angle for each operation (Horizontal air deflector 
only. The angle of the vertical air deflector is set to 
the front). Usually vertical airflow direction control 
is not required.

• 

If room temperature and humidity continue to be 
high during cooling, dehumidifying or Dry Cool 
operation, the angle of horizontal air deflector may 
change to prevent dripping of condensed water.

stop swinging depending on the room temperature and 
humidity. (Page 27)

  (It may take approximately 10 seconds for the air deflector 

to start moving. This is due to the checking operation to set 
the air deflector to the correct angle.)
