COOL: Use curtains to screen off sunlight and outdoor heat to reduce power consumption during COOL mode.  
DRY : Unit operates at low fan speed to give a gentle cooling operation.  
nanoe-G in-lter deactivation  
Depending on the unit’s accumulated operation time, nanoe-G in-lter deactivation may activate only once a day after  
the unit turned off.  
To remove the moisture left in the internal parts, the fan will operate for 30 minutes with louver opened slightly. This  
process only applicable when the unit is operated in COOL/DRY mode before turned off. Then, nanoe-G deactivates
