SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

WHISPER QUIET
Not only are the GREE systems energy efficient but they are quiet too. Mini- Floor Console A Series units operate with sound pressure levels starting as low as the 09 goes down to 25 dB(A).

MULTI FAN SPEEDS
Whether operating in either Cooling or Heating mode, the indoor fan can be set to your choice of fan speed plus Turbo to achieve maximum comfort.

INTELLIGENT PREHEATING
This 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 FUNCTION
The unit will sense room temperature at the remote controller instead of at the indoor unit. It then adjusts airflow and temperature accordingly for ultimate personal comfort.

ADJUSTABLE AIRFLOW
The adjustable swing louvers can be controlled from the remote controller. Vertical swing louvers allows 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.

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 quickest results.

VACATION MODE (FREEZE GUARD)
Vacation mode (freeze guard) sets the unit to 46°F (8°C) in heating to keep the temperature in the space above freezing.

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.

SLEEP MODE
Mini-Floor Console A Series offers a Sleep Mode function for your comfort. The unit will automatically adjust 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.

ENERGY SAVINGS MODE
This feature will automatically select the optimal compressor and fan speeds to allow for energy savings while operating in Cooling or Heating modes. The compressor and fan will automatically slow down as the room temperature reaches the set point.

SELF-DIAGNOSIS
This System has a built-in computer which uses real-time diagnostics which help prolong the unit’s life. The automatic diagnosis feature continuously scans for errors or malfunctions and fault codes are shown on the unit display to facilitate troubleshooting and repair.

POWER FAILURE MODE
Power interruptions are no problem for the Mini-Floor Console A. User selections and system parameters are stored in non-volatile memory. These parameters are retained during a power failure. When power is returned, the Mini-Floor Console A Series system will automatically return to the last operating mode.

INTELLIGENT DEFROST
The Intelligent Defrost function increases room comfort and saves energy by eliminating unnecessary defrost cycles. In heating mode, the unit will monitor the outdoor coil for frost build up. Once frost buildup has been detected, the system will switch into a defrost mode to remove the frost.

WASHABLE POLYMERIC AIR FILTER
The polymeric mesh filters save energy by preventing the indoor coils from being plugged with dirt and lint. This economical and sturdy filter may be washed, vacuumed and reused.

FAHRENHEIT / CELSIUS
The remote controller and wired controller can be set to display in either °F or °C.

REMOTE LOCK-OUT
The 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem	Check items	Solution
Indoor unit isn’t receiving the remote controller signal.	Interference from
static electricity	Disconnect power at breaker for 3 minutes.
Is the remote controller within the signal receiving range?	Signal receiving

range is 26 ft.
Are there any obstacles?| The remote needs to have a clear path to the indoor unit receiver.
Is the remote controller pointing at the receiving window?| Select proper angle and point the remote controller at the receiving window on indoor unit.
Is sensitivity of remote controller low; fuzzy display or no display?| Check the batteries. If the power of batteries is too low, please replace them.
No display when operating remote controller?| Check whether remote controller appears to be damaged. If yes, replace it.
Electronic Interference?| Take the remote controller close to indoor unit. Turn off other electronics and then try it again.
No air coming from indoor unit| Air inlet or air outlet of indoor unit is blocked?| Eliminate obstacles.
In the HEAT mode, has the indoor temperature reached the set temperature?| After reaching set temperature, the indoor fan will stop.
You just turned on the HEAT mode.| In order to prevent cold air from blowing out it may take several minutes before the fan starts. This is normal.
Air conditioner isn’t coming on| Power failure?| Wait until power recovery.
Loose wiring?| Contact your contractor or an electrician.
Circuit breaker has tripped or fuse is burnt out?| Ask professional to replace circuit breaker or fuse.
Wiring is overheating or needs repair.| Ask professional to replace it.
Unit has restarted immediately after stopping operation?| Turn the unit off, wait 3 minutes then turn it back on.
Does the remote controller show the correct setting?| Reset the function.

General problem analysis

Please check below items before asking for maintenance. If the problem still can’t be eliminated, please contact local dealer or qualified professionals.

WARNING

When the following occurs, turn the unit off and disconnect power immediately, contact your installing contractor or a licensed HVAC technician.
- Power supply wiring is overheating or damaged.
- There’s abnormal sound during operation.
- Circuit breaker trips off frequently.
- Air conditioner gives off burning smell.
- Indoor unit is leaking.
Do not try to service or repair the unit yourself.
If the unit operates abnormally it may cause internal or external damage, electric shock or become a fire hazard.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Reduce room setpoint at night: During the night hours, you don’t require the same level of conscious cooling or heating. Try using Sleep Mode to gradually relax room temperature and allow the unit to run less and save energy.
Curtains and shades: In the summer, it is recommended to block the effects of the sun. Close window curtains and shades on the south and west side of your home to help block solar heat. In winter, the sun is your friend. Open curtains and shades to allow solar heat into your room.
Close doors: If you don’t need to heat and cool your whole home, confine the heating and cooling to one room by closing doors.
Service the unit: Some basic maintenance might be all you need. The outdoor unit will greatly benefit from a good hosing off, leaves, grass clippings and other debris can stick to coil fins and make the unit work up to 15% harder!
Rearrange the room: Furniture that obstructs the airflow, needs to be removed or rearranged accordingly.
Try 75 degrees: 75°F is a good point for an air conditioner to run at its optimal performance level. Even a 5-degree change in temperature can make your unit use up to 40% more energy.
Lighting: Turning lights off can help reduce your heat. Each light bulb is a tiny heater. Your air conditioner must waste energy overcoming the heat from your lights to reach and hold your desired room temperature.
Zero occupancy: During zero occupancy turn your unit to Auto mode and make sure windows and curtains are closed. Although room temperature may be less than optimal for a few minutes when you return, the unit will soon have the room back to your desired temperature.
Don’t forget the fan: The fan is much like a car. The faster it runs, the more energy it uses. Try saving money by using the comfortable quiet low fan speed as much as possible.
