FEATURES MODELS ARU9RLF / AOU9RLFC ARU9RLF ARU18RLF ARU12RLF / AOU12RLFC ARU12RLF ARU18RLF / AOU18RLFC FEATURES Energy saving High energy saving was realized by converting indoor unit/outdoor unit fan motors and compressor to all DC, and also by optimal design of the refrigerant cycle.
WIRED REMOTE CONTROLLER FEATURES ● Various timer setup available (ON/OFF/WEEKLY). ● Equipped with weekly timer as standard function. (Start/Stop function is twice per day for a week) ● When setting up the timer, start/stop and temperature setup can be changed.
FUNCTIONS START/STOP button Pressed to start and stop operation. SET TEMP. button Selects the setting temperature. MODE button Selects the operating mode (AUTO, HEAT, FAN, COOL, DRY). FAN button Selects the fan speed (AUTO, QUIET, LOW, MED, HIGH). ECONOMY (THERMO SENSOR) button Turns the economy efficient mode on and off.
