fan speed on the remote control, press the HIGH, MID 
or LOW buttons.
High fan mode is recommended for very warm days or 
when a fast initial cooling of the room is desired. 
Medium fan mode is recommended on moderately warm 
days or when the unit has been operating for some time 
and the temperature is about to reach its desired set-
ting. Low fan mode is recommended on slightly warm 
days or after the room temperature has reached its 
desired setting. Auto mode adjusts the fan speed auto-
matically from low to high based on the setting of the 
thermostat and the actual room temperature.
NOTE: When changing modes during operation, the 
unit may not respond immediately. Wait 3 minutes 
before attempting to switch modes or restarting the

the number of hours until the unit will turn on will be 
displayed. Use the UP and DOWN ARROW buttons on 
the control panel to change the number of hours. When

to change the number of hours.
Press the TIMER button again to cancel Timer mode.
