- Sleep Function (Optional): Automatically turns off the air conditioner when you go to sleep, with gradual temperature increases for comfortable sleep.
- Simple Timer Function (Optional): Automatically turns off the air conditioner when you go to sleep.
Energy Management:
- Energy Display Function (Optional): Displays instantaneous (kW) and cumulative (kWh) power consumption.
- Energy Saving Function (Optional): Minimizes power consumption during Cooling mode by automatically setting the optimal temperature (22 °C or higher).
- Energy Control Function (Optional): Decreases power input by 20%, 40%, or 60% compared to rated power input.
- Generator Mode Function (Optional): Operates the air conditioner under a previously set power consumption, suitable for generator power supply.
Comfort and Air Quality Features:
- Light Off Function (Optional): Adjusts the brightness of the indoor unit display screen.
- Comfort Air Function (Optional): Sets the vane to deflect supply air away from occupants.
