Solution
Units are equipped with a switch to run emergency operation mode. It can be
accessed by opening the front panel. This switch is used for manual operation
in case the remote controller fails to work, or maintenance is necessary.
1. Open and lift the front panel up to an angle until it remains fixed with a clicking sound.
2. One press of the manual control switch will lead to the forced AUTO
operation. If press the switch twice within 5 seconds, the unit will operate under forced COOL operation.
3. Push and fold the front panel rod, then close the panel firmly to its original
position.
- The unit must be turned off before operating the manual control button. If the unit is operational, continue pressing the manual control button until the unit is off.
- This switch is only to be used for operation when the remote controller is not available.
- To restore the remote controller operation, use the remote controller directly.
