Mode Features
COOL Compressor runs and cools the room. Use the
/ and FAN buttons to set the desired
temperature and circulation fan speed.
FAN Fan circulates air but compressor does not run.
Use the FAN button to set the desired fan speed.
DRY Dry mode is used to remove humidity from the room
without additional cooling. Once the set temperature
is reached, the compressor and circulation fan turns
off and only the exhaust fan will run. Fan speed is
pre-set and cannot be adjusted.

ENERGY Under normal operation, the exhaust fan cycles on

SAVER and off with the compressor, and the circulation fan
runs at the set speed.
The mode helps reduce power consumption by
automatically turning off the circulation fan as well
as the exhaust fan when the compressor is off. The
air conditioner will automatically cycle both fans on
and off with the compressor as needed for cooling.
