Setting horizontal angle of air flow

The horizontal angle of the airflow must be set manually. Grip the deflector rod (See Fig.B) and manually adjust it to your preferred direction.

For some units, the horizontal angle of the airflow can be set by remote control. Please refer to the Remote Control Manual.

NOTE ON LOUVER ANGLES

When using COOL or DRY mode, do not set louver at too vertical an angle for long periods of time. This can cause water to condense on the louver blade, which will drop on your floor or furnishings. (See Fig.A)

When using COOL or HEAT mode, setting the louver at too vertical an angle can reduce the performance of the unit due to restricted air flow.

Do not move louver by hand. This will cause the louver to become out of sync. If this occurs, turn off the unit and unplug it for a few seconds, then restart the unit. This will reset the louver.

Caution: Do not keep louver at too vertical an angle for long periods of time. This can cause water condensation to drip on your furnishings.
