• Whereas if you press this button when the remote control system is off, the system restores the previous settings, but does not transmit the signals to the unit. Furthermore, the sleep function is deactivated.
• By keeping the button pressed for more than 2 seconds, the system automatically saves the current operating settings, i.e. the operating mode, the temperature setting, the fan speed and the sleep function (if activated).

ADVICE ON ENERGY SAVINGS

• Do not programme too high a temperature (in heating mode) or too low a temperature (in cooling mode).
• Avoid installing the internal/external units in places directly exposed to sunlight (this could prevent the appliance from operating at its best).
• Avoid opening and closing doors and windows too frequently, as the ongoing heat exchange with the outside hinders the operation of the air conditioning unit.
• Use the "TIMER" for the timed starting of the appliance to prevent the appliance from operating unnecessarily while you are out.
• Use the "SLEEP" function at night.

NOTES:

• In cooling mode, you may detect a slight mist coming out of the Internal Unit for a few seconds: this is completely normal and due to the difference in temperature between the air exiting the appliance and the air inside the room.
• During operation, you may hear a noise similar to the fl owing of water: this is completely normal, owing to the liquid refrigerant fl owing through the piping.
• When the air conditioning unit starts or stops, especially in heating mode, you may hear a little creaking: this is due to the thermal expansion of the parts making up the appliance.
