so that the fan does not run all the time. This saves energy and |
improves dehumidi¿cation. Or you may prefer constant fan for more |
air movement (to return to constant fan, touch the Mode button two |
more times). |
In order to run the fan by itself, do the following: |

Automatic component protection
Smart Fan will adjust the fan speed automatically to maintain the desired comfort level. For example, if the outside doors in your home are opened for an extended period of time, or more people enter a room, Smart Fan may adjust to a higher fan speed to compensate for the increased heat load. This keeps you from having to adjust the fan speed on your own.
Your unit is equipped with Automatic Component Protection. To protect the compressor of the unit, there is a three minute start delay if you turn the unit off or if power is interrupted. The fan operation will not be affected. Also, if you switch from Cool mode to Fan Only, and switch back to Cool mode, there is a three minute delay before the compressor comes back on.
