USING YOUR AIR CONDITIONER

Page 11

Operating from the control panel

The control panel is on top of the appliance and it enables you to manage 
functions without using the remote control. However, to use the appliance 
to its full potential you are advised to use the remote control.

To turn the appliance on plug it into a mains socket and the appliance will 
enter standby mode. 
Press the ON/OFF button to turn the appliance on, the last function that 
was active when the appliance was turned off will appear. 

“Never turn the appliance off by unplugging it from the mains. Always 
press the ON/OFF button, then wait for a few minutes before 
unplugging. This allows the appliance to perform a cycle of checks to 
verify the operation”  

COOL Mode
Ideal for hot humid weather when you need to cool and dehumidify the 
room. 
To set this mode correctly:
-

Press the MODE button several times until the COOL mode indicator 

light appears.
-

Select the desired temperature by pressing the INCREASE and 
DECREASE buttons until the value you want is displayed. The 
temperature ranges from 18-32°C (64-90°F) in this mode.

-

Select the required fan speed by pressing the FAN button.

-

There are 2 fan speeds to choose from: High & Low

HIGH: To achieve the desired temperature as fast as possible.
LOW: Lowers the noise of the appliance.

The most suitable temperature for a room during the summer varies from 
24-27°C. You are recommended not to set a temperature much lower than 
the outdoor temperature, this will cause unnecessary power 
consumption.
