How To Use Advanced Functions

ECO operation:

Under COOL mode, press this button and the remote controller will automatically adjust the
temperature to 75°F (24°C), fan speed off of AUTO to save energy. However, this only occurs when the set temperature is less than 75°F (24°C). If the set temperature is above 75°F (24°C), pressing the ECO button will cause the fan speed to change to AUTO and the set temperature will remain unchanged.

NOTE:

• Pressing the ECO/GEAR button, modifying the mode, or adjusting the set temperature to less than 75°F (24°C), will stop ECO operation.
• Under ECO operation, the set temperature should be 75°F (24°C) or above, or it may result in insufficient cooling. If the cooling feels insufficient, press the ECO button again to turn off this feature.
