Remote Control

Energy Saver - In this mode the compressor and fan turn off when the set temperature is achieved. Approximately every 3 minutes the fan turns on to allow the unit sensor to accurately determine if more cooling is needed.

Cool Fan - This mode is ideal on hot days to cool and dehumidify the room quickly. Use the Temp buttons to set the desired room temperature and use the Fan Speed button to set the desired fan circulation speed.

Fan - In this mode the fan circulates air but the compressor does not run. Use the Fan Speed button to set fan speed to High, Medium or Low. In this mode, you cannot adjust the set temperature.

Dry - This mode is ideal for rainy and damp days to dehumidify the room rather than cooling it significantly. Humidity is removed from the room by the combination of compressor operation and the fan speed fixed at Low. The compressor and fan turn off once the set temperature is reached.
Fan speed cannot be adjusted in Dry mode.
