NOTE ON ILLUSTRATIONS
The illustrations in this manual are strictly for explanatory purposes. The actual display and some functions of the remote controller may vary according to the model purchased.

Replacement of Batteries

Remove the battery cover from the rear of the remote controller, by sliding it downward in the direction of the arrow as depicted below. Install batteries according to the depicted directions (+ and -) as shown on the remote controlller. The cover then slides back into place.
Use 2x AAA batteries. Do not use re-chargeable batteries. Replace old batteries with new ones of the same type when the display is no longer legible. Do not dispose of batteries as unsorted municipal waste. Disposal of such waste separately for special treatment is necessary. If the system will not be used for a long time, remove batteries to prevent leakage.

Note
Please remove batteries to avoid leakage damage when not being used for a long time.
Configuring Remote Controller Settings (some models)
Depending on the system, the control type (Cooling Only or Heat Pump) and the unit of Temperature (°C or °F) can be configured using the manual dip- switches below the battery compartment. Operate as below:

Operating the Remote Controller Sucessfully and Safely

• Ensure no objects come between the remote controller and signal receptor of indoor unit.
• Keep the remote at least 3 ft away from televisions and other  electrical appliances.
• Always direct the remote controller toward the air conditioner.
• Don’t leave the remote exposed to sunrays.

Regarding the Airflow of the Indoor Unit
The air that is pulled in by the fan (the “return air”) enters the grille and is passed through the filter. It is then cooled/dehumidified/heated through the heat exchanger.
The direction of the air output is manipulated up and down by the motorized louver, and left to right via manually controlled vertical deflectors. Some models may come with “dual-swing” capability, which offers both a horizontal and vertical motorized air flow swing.

Controlling the System’s Airflow

1. Pressing the SWING buttons activates the louver.
   • Press the Swing button to trigger the horizontal flaps to swing up and down. Press this button again to stop swing movement at the current angle.
   • Press the Swing button to trigger the vertical flaps to swing left and right. Press this button again to stop swing movement at the current angle.

2. If the vertical deflectors (which are located underneath the flaps) are adjusted manually, they can be used to fix the airflow in a certain vertical position before turning the system on.
   Note: Some models possess a self-clean mode which is activated by pressing and holding these two buttons together.

CAUTION

• Do not manipulate the louvers themselves manually, or serious damage may occur.
• Deflector adjustments should be made only when the system is switched off.
• Never poke fingers, sticks, or other objects into the air inlet/outlet vents.

COOLING Mode

Cooling mode allows the air conditioner to cool the room while also reducing the humidity of the air in the room.
To put the system into cooling mode, press the button until the symbol appears on the remote’s display.
The and buttons can then be used to set a temperature lower than that of the room.

HEATING Mode
Heating mode allows the air conditioner to heat the room.
To put the system into heating mode, press the button until the symbol appears on the remote’s display.
The and buttons can then be used to set a temperature higher than that of the room.

NOTE
In heating mode, the appliance will periodically enter a defrost cycle, which is essential in order to clean frosting off the condenser and recover heat exchange capability. This process is normal and lasts for 2-10 minutes.
During defrosting, the indoor unit’s fan will cease operation. After the cycle is completed, the system will resume its normal heat mode operation automatically. Press ECO 10 times within 8 seconds to trigger a forced defrost.
DRY Mode
Dry mode is a limited function that can rapidly reduce the humidity/moisture of the room.
To put the system into dry mode, press the button until the symbol appears on the remote’s display.
An automatic preset of this mode is then activated.

FAN-ONLY Mode
Fan-only mode is used to set the system to use only air ventilation and no heating or cooling.
