• Soft Dry operation can be set using remote control.
• Soft Dry operation is applied to dehumidify and to perform a gentle cooling to the room.
• This operation starts when the intake air temperature sensor reaches the setting temperature on the remote control.
• When operation begins, Soft Dry will be switched “ON” for a maximum 10 minutes, then Soft Dry operation will be turned “OFF”

for a minimum 6 minutes. After that, the Soft Dry operation will be “ON” and “OFF” based on the setting temperature as shown in
below figure.

• However after 3 minutes of compressor off, during Soft Dry “OFF” (within 6 minutes Soft Dry restart control), the indoor unit will

start to operate at normal Cooling mode if the intake temperature is higher than Cooling “ON” point.

• Automatic operation can be set using remote control.
• This operation starts to operate with indoor fan at SLo speed for 25 seconds to judge the intake air temperature.
• After judged the temperature, the operation mode is determined by referring to the below standard.

• Then, the unit start to operate at determined operation mode, until it is switched off using remote control, with the setting

temperature as shown in below table.

• Operation mode will be determine again for judgement after 1 hour of operation, if the room temperature reaches to set

temperature and compressor off time is over 7 minutes 30 seconds continuously.

*

The present operation mode will be continued, if the room temperature does not reach to set temperature (Compressor keeps

running) eventhough after 1 hour from automatic operation mode started.

• Automatic Set Temperature

For each operation, set temperature will automatically set as shown below.

• The setting temperature for all the operations can be changed one level up or one level down from the standard temperature as

shown in below table by pressing on the temperature up or temperature down button at remote control.

• The operation mode judging temperature and standard setting temperature can be increased by 2°C permanently, by open the

circuit of JX03 at printed circuit board indoor unit.

• Indoor Fan Speed can be set using remote control.

• When set to Auto Fan Speed, the fan speed is adjusted between maximum and minimum setting as shown in the table.

- Fan speed rotates in the range of Hi, Me and Lo-.
- Deodorizing Control will be activated.

• Auto Fan Speed during Cooling operation:

1. Indoor fan will rotate alternately between off and on as shown in below diagram.
2. At the beginning of each compressor start operation, indoor fan will increase fan speed gradually for deodorizing purpose.
3. For the first time the compressor operate, indoor fan will be switched to Hi fan speed from Lo- after 70 seconds from the

start of compressor. This cause the room temperature to achieve the setting temperature quickly.

4. During compressor stop, indoor fan will operate at Lo- for the beginning 20 seconds to prevent higher volume of refrigerant

in liquid form returning to the compressor.

5. After the compressor at turn off condition for 3 minutes, indoor fan will start to operate at Lo- to circulate the air in the

room. 
This is to obtain the actual reading of the intake air temperature.

6. For the resume of compressor operation, indoor fan will operate at Me fan speed to provide comfort and lesser noise

environment, after 70 seconds from the restart of compressor.

• Auto Fan Speed during Soft Dry operation:

1. Indoor fan will rotate alternately between off and Lo-.
2. At the beginning of each compressor start operation, indoor fan will increase fan speed gradually for deodorizing purpose.
3. When compressor at turn off condition for 6 minutes, indoor fan will start fan speed at Lo- to circulate the air in the room.

This is to obtain the actual reading of intake air temperature.

• Auto Fan Speed during Heating operation.

1. Indoor fan will rotate in the range of SLo 

→ Me according to the heat exchanger temperature.
