■ “DRY” operation
• Once the room temperature reaches the level that was set, the outdoor unit repeats the
cycle of turning on and off automatically.

set to “breeze” (light wind) automatically.
■ Should power failure occur while the unit is running
• The unit will resume operation automatically. Operation settings prior to power failure will be
used.
