2. Install dedicated circuit breaker of appropriate amperage (15-20A).
3. Connect wires to terminal block following wiring diagram (L1, L2, N, Ground).
4. Secure all connections and ensure proper grounding.
5. Install surge protector for protection against voltage spikes.

Tip: Always turn off circuit breaker before performing any electrical work.

Operation Modes

Detailed operation of each mode for optimal comfort.

1. Cool Mode: For temperature reduction. Set desired temperature (recommended 24-26°C).
2. Heat Mode: For heating (heat pump models). Set temperature (recommended 20-22°C).
3. Dry Mode: For dehumidification without significant cooling. Maintains comfort while removing moisture.
4. Fan Mode: Circulates air without cooling/heating. Select fan speed as needed.
5. Auto Mode: Unit automatically selects Cool, Heat, or Fan based on room temperature.
6. Sleep Mode: Gradually adjusts temperature over 7 hours for energy savings and comfort.
7. Turbo Mode: Maximum cooling/heating capacity for rapid temperature change.
8. Quiet Mode: Reduces fan speed for ultra-quiet operation during night.

WARNING! Do not operate heating mode below specified outdoor temperature to prevent damage.
