FEATURES

The unit provides the following features for added comfort and safety.

• Auto-Restart (some units)
  If the unit loses power, it automatically restarts with the prior settings once power has been restored.

• Anti-mildew (some units)
  When turning off the unit from COOL, AUTO (COOL), or DRY modes, the air conditioner continues to operate at very low power to dry up any condensed water and prevent mildew growth.

• Wireless Control (some units)
  Wireless control allows users to control the air conditioner using a mobile phone and a wireless connection. For the USB device access, replacement, maintenance operations must be carried out by professional staff.

• Louver Angle Memory (some units)
  When turning on the unit, the louver automatically resumes its former angle.

• Active Clean (some units)

  • The Active Clean Technology washes away dust, mold, and grease that may cause odors when it adheres to the heat exchanger by automatically freezing and then rapidly thawing the frost. The operation produces more condensed water to improve the cleaning effect.
  • After cleaning, the blower wheel keeps operating with hot air to blow-dry the evaporator, thus preventing the growth of mold and keeping the inside clean. When this function is turned on, the indoor unit window displays CL. After 20 to 45 minutes, the unit turns off automatically and cancels the function.

• Breeze Away (some units)
  This feature avoids direct air flow from blowing on inhabitants.

• Refrigerant Leak Detection (some units)
  The indoor unit auto leakage.

• COMFORTSENSE (some units)
  The COMFORTSENSE feature enables the emote control to measure the temperature at its current location.
