FOLLOW ME FEATURE:This feature can ONLY be activated from the remote control. The remote control serves as a remote thermostat, allowing for precise temperature control at its location.

To activate the Follow Me feature, point the remote control towards the unit and press the FOLLOWME button. The remote displays the actual temperature at its location. The remote control will send this signal to the air conditioner every 3 minutes until the FOLLOWME button is pressed again.

TO OPERATE AUTO FEATURE: When you set the air conditioner to AUTO mode, it will automatically select cooling, or fan only operation depending on what temperature you have selected and the room temperature. The air conditioner will automatically control room temperature around the temperature you set. In this mode, the fan speed cannot be adjusted. It starts automatically at a speed according to the room temperature.

TO OPERATE FAN ONLY: Use this function only when cooling is not desired, such as for room air circulation or to exhaust stale air. (Remembertoopentheventduringthisfunction,butkeepitclosedduringcoolingformaximumcoolingefficiency.)Youcanchooseanyfanspeedyouprefer.During this function, the display will show the actual room temperature, not the set temperature as in the cooling mode.

TO OPERATE ON DRY MODE: In this mode, the air conditioner will reduce air humidity. If the space is a closed or sealed area, some degree of cooling will continue.
