SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

WHISPER QUIET
Not only are the Gree systems energy efficient but they are quiet too. Crown High-Wall units operate with sound pressure levels starting as low as 22 dB(A).

MULTI FAN SPEEDS
Whether operating in either Cooling or Heating mode, the indoor fan can be set to your choice of seven different speeds (Ultra-Low, Low, Low-Medium, Medium, Medium-High, High or Turbo) to achieve maximum comfort.

INTELLIGENT PRE-HEATING
The Crown system guards against the annoying cool air blown into the room in heating mode. The system constantly monitors the discharge air temperature. It will delay the indoor fan until the indoor coil has warmed up to prevent blowing uncomfortable cool air into the room.

I FEEL MODE
The unit will sense room temperature at the remote controller instead of at the indoor unit. It then adjusts airflow and temperature accordingly for the ultimate in personal comfort control and energy savings.

SWING LOUVER
The unit has adjustable swing louvers which can be controlled by the wireless controller. Vertical and horizontal swing louvers allow five different air discharge directions including Continuous Sweep. Maximize comfort by adjusting the direction of airflow in the room by moving the louvers up or down, right or left.

TURBO MODE
Use Turbo Mode for situations where you wish to achieve the desired room temperature in the shortest possible time. This mode runs the unit at ultra- high speeds for the quickest results.

TIMER MODE
The unit can be programmed to turn ON or OFF after a specific amount of time. The time period is adjustable between one-half and 24 hours

MODE BUTTON
The unit can be set to five different operating modes: HEAT, COOL, DRY, FAN ONLY and AUTO.
NOTE : AUTO MODE has fixed setpoints of 68° F heating and 78° F cooling, which are not adjustable. The system will automatically select heating or cooling to maintain room temperature within this band.

SLEEP MODE
The Crown offers four selectable sleep modes for your comfort. The unit will automatically adjust the room temperature during your sleep time. This slight change in temperature will not affect your comfort level due to the natural effects that sleeping has on the body, but it will save on energy consumption and will lower electric bills.

X-FAN MODE
When operating in humid areas, Crown has a Dry Coil function that will allow the indoor fan to run for a pre-determined amount of time after the unit is turned off (cooling or dry modes) to ensure that additional moisture is removed from the coil.

FAHRENHEIT °F / CELSIUS °C
The remote controller and Crown indoor wall unit displays can be set to display in either °F or °C.

LOCK MODE
The wireless remote controller has a Lock feature. The Lock averts unauthorized access or tampering with system settings.

AGENCY LISTINGS
All systems are listed with AHRI (Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute) and are ETL certified per UL Standards
