The appliance uses flammable refrigerants R290 or R32. Special warnings and instructions are provided for handling, installation, servicing, and disposal of units using these refrigerants, emphasizing the importance of avoiding ignition sources and ensuring proper ventilation.
Usage Features:
The air conditioner can be controlled via its control panel or a remote control.

- Fan Speeds: Four settings: Auto, Low, Med, High. In Dry mode, fan speed is automatically set to Low.
- Operating Modes:
- Auto Mode: Automatically selects cooling or fan-only operation based on set and room temperatures. Fan speed is not adjustable in this mode.
- Cool Mode: Runs fan and compressor to reach and maintain set temperature.
- Dry Mode: Operates as a dehumidifier, providing some cooling. Fan speed is automatically set to Low.
- Fan Only Mode: Circulates air without cooling. The vent should be open during this function. Displays actual room temperature.
