Often people who have just bought an air conditioner do not know which side to approach it from, where to press it, etc. Today we decided to help you deal with the air conditioner remote control, which is your main assistant in creating a comfortable room temperature. After reading this article, you will no longer have to ask yourself the question: “Am I using the conditioner correctly?”
Of course, there are a large number of different remotes, moreover, each brand has its own design. However, every manufacturer, no matter how extravagant, tries to make the remote as easy to use as possible. Thus, it creates universal keys (general standard), by pressing which you can quickly set the necessary parameters.
The first and main advice for novice users is to read the instructions. Of course, you can refer to laziness, you can think that instructions are a trifle. However, it is in it that the most important characteristics that you will need when using a new device are written.Now we will analyze in order the possible keys that are found in wired and wireless remote controls for air conditioners. All names are written in English, but you should not be afraid, gradually you will remember everything and you will easily control the temperature in your home.
Most Popular Buttons
These buttons are most often found on air conditioner remotes and this instruction is applicable to many models.
mode- mode selection (automatic operation, cold, dehumidification, heat, ventilation)
fan– (this is not the same Fan as in the Modes)
The Fan button is to set the fan speed (3-4 different speed levels)
Swing- direction of the horizontal damper (directs the air flow)
Press once, the damper will swing up and down constantly, when pressed again, it will fix its position. Some models have the ability to set the direction of the vertical shutters, if this function is not available, then they must be manually adjusted, pointing in the right direction. Direct contact with the air stream on a person is undesirable.
Temp- temperature (set, inside - outside).
You can find out the set temperature in the air conditioner settings, the temperature indoors and outdoors (there is not always a thermometer on the external unit of the air conditioner).
Sleep- sleeping mode.
Reduced fan speed to be quiet. Every hour for 2 hours there is an increase in temperature +1 from the set one. Then the temperature is kept at the reached temperature, and after 6 hours the air conditioner is turned off. During sleep, our body temperature drops, and this function does not allow us to get sick / cold. For specification of data see the instruction.
clock– clock (shows the set time). Set the time using the temperature arrows
Time on (off)- on / off the air conditioner by timer (do not forget to set the current Clock time)
Setting the time to turn on and off the air conditioner with the latest mode and temperature settings. Pressing the button again will turn off the timer. Time is set with temperature arrows
Turbo- high performance mode (increases the fan speed of the indoor unit).
Attention!Do not forget that turning on the air conditioner for heat at -10C degrees Celsius is not worth it. This may damage the air conditioner. Only air conditioners equipped with a winter set can operate at low temperatures (down to -40C).
Let's look at the rest of the keys:Each brand and model of air conditioner has its own “chips”. Let's look at some buttons with additional modes and functions for the air conditioner.
Smart Saver is a very important feature that usually pleases economical users. If you set this option, the air conditioner will reach a certain temperature you set, and then stop working. This is very convenient, then your room will not be too cold or too hot: if the temperature starts to change, the air conditioner will turn on again. Thus, the temperature will be kept at a certain level.
The Qulet button provides enhanced dispersion of the cold air supply, thus reducing the risk of getting sick from direct pressure. A very important function for rooms in which there are often children.

This model has a temperature sensor built into the remote control.
The built-in self-diagnosis mode will allow you to find out the current status of the air conditioner without contacting outside specialists.
TURBO mode allows you to quickly cool / heat the room to the set temperature, which is important when the room is especially hot or cold.
Additional modes and settings
TURBO mode. To cool the room during hot weather, it is better to use the TURBO mode first. When it is turned on, regardless of the operation of the compressor, the fan operates at maximum mode. Thanks to this, it heats or cools the air in the room faster to the values you set.
Helpful Hints
Do not try to cool the room too much, it is unhealthy and wastes energy.
Make sure that curtains and blinds prevent sunlight from entering the room where you are cooling the air. The same applies to heating devices - their presence will greatly complicate the operation of the air conditioner.
Watch the position of the vertical damper if you operate it manually in various operating modes. During heating of the room, it should be vertical, and during cooling, it should be horizontal, so that the air temperature in the room is distributed as evenly as possible.
Windows and doors must be closed, otherwise there will be a constant leakage of cold air and the air conditioner will work less efficiently. At the same time, make sure to ventilate the room regularly and not keep it permanently closed.
Use the TURBO mode to save energy and cool the air in the room faster
Cleaning your air conditioner
Make sure that the support on which you will stand is reliable and stable.
Do not use abrasive detergents, gasoline, thinners, water hotter than 40 degrees Celsius - this may damage the plastic.
If you think there is a problem
The air conditioner doesn't work. Perhaps the plug is not connected to the outlet or there is no mains voltage. Did the timer go off?
The device does not turn on for three minutes after being turned off. This is a normal protection against frequent switching on. Wait three minutes and turn on the air conditioner.
After starting the heating mode, the indoor unit does not start operation immediately. The fan will turn on when the heat exchanger temperature rises so that there is no cold air blow.
During warm-up operation, the indoor unit turns off. At this time, the outdoor unit is defrosted.
During heating operation, white smoke comes out of the outdoor unit. Since the outdoor unit emits cold air in this mode, fog will appear in the area in contact with outdoor air.
Water is leaking from the outdoor unit. During the operation of the air conditioner, there will be elements with a low temperature in the outdoor unit, on which condensation will appear and even ice will freeze. This will lead to the appearance of water.
Mist is emitted from the indoor unit into the room. If there is high humidity in the room, fog will appear around the cold air coming out of the hole.
After the appearance of electricity, the air conditioner turned on by itself and began to work, although no one used the remote control. The automatic start function resumes the operation of the air conditioner in the same mode in which it worked before the power outage.
The remote control does not work. Check the presence of batteries, their correct installation and their quality.
The air conditioner stopped heating or cooling. This may be due to a refrigerant leak, which, when in contact with fire or heating appliances, can form harmful substances. Therefore, you need to contact the company that installed your air conditioner.
The air conditioner does not heat or cool satisfactorily. Check if the windows and doors in the room are closed, if there are any heat sources turned on, if the operating mode and power are set correctly. Make sure that there are no obstructions to the air movement of the outdoor and indoor units.
There was a strange smell in the air coming out of the air conditioner. First of all, check if this is due to the appearance of mold on the wallpaper, carpet near the indoor unit. Then check the condition of the indoor unit.
There is a crackling sound while the air conditioner is running. Changing the temperature will change the size of the plastic that will make these sounds.
There is a gurgle, the sound of flowing water. The flow of condensate and refrigerant can cause these sounds. Also, the operation of the exhaust fan may cause air to be drawn through the condensate drain hose, which will cause such sounds.
When the air conditioner will not be used for a long time
Before turning off for a long period, it is necessary to prepare the air conditioner for this. Turn on the warm-up mode for 2-3 hours to completely dry the moisture in the air cavity of the indoor unit. Turn off the air conditioner.

Part name and function
Proper operation of the air conditioner is an incredibly responsible and complex process, which is almost impossible to figure out on your own. In order to ensure that the installation and further operation of modern climate control systems does not cause any difficulties for consumers, the package includes an instruction manual for a particular model without fail. A detailed and accessible written instruction manual will serve the user well, allowing you to enjoy the smooth operation of the device and independently fix minor malfunctions and malfunctions.
Air conditioner instruction manual: purpose
Installation and further use of the air conditioner is difficult to carry out without observing the basic requirements and rules prescribed in the manual for its operation. The modern market of climatic equipment offers a huge range of air conditioners of various world brands. Each product has its own features, technical characteristics and functional component, which means that the instructions for air conditioners from different manufacturers are different: for example, the instruction manual for the lg air conditioner is intended exclusively for models of this brand, and the instruction manual for the mitsubishi air conditioner is, respectively, for installations of a well-known Japanese manufacturer. However, any instruction, regardless of the manufacturer, gives detailed answers to any questions related to the operation of a particular model of air conditioner, allows you to understand the basic safety rules for the operation of the device and learn a detailed description of the internal and external components of the mechanisms and parts of the air conditioner, as well as determine the sequence assemblies. This is how, for example, the cover of the instruction manual for the haier air conditioner looks like.
Undoubtedly, well-trained specialists should install the air conditioner, however, information about the technology of the entire process will not be superfluous. Regarding the settings, the information in the manual is separated into a separate section, and the descriptive part is supplemented with illustrations. Since air conditioners are controlled remotely, the operating instructions, for example, for a panasonic air conditioner, cover the rules for regulating and controlling the movement of air flow using remote control, general recommendations for care and maintenance, as well as possible violations during the operation of the air conditioning unit. To avoid any conflict situations or problems associated with the operation of the equipment, conclude an agreement with the supplier for warranty and post-warranty service, the regular conduct of which will allow you to avoid a sudden breakdown of the device during the maximum load period, for example, in the summer.
So, any instruction manual for the air conditioner contains detailed information on several sections:
- The purpose of the air conditioner, its series and model, specifications and conditions for safe operation;
- Detailed device, mechanisms and components;
- Ways to control the air conditioner, including the rules for using the remote control;
- Basic tips for use, care and maintenance, recommendations for cleaning the front panel and air filter;
- Description of the features of the operating modes of the air conditioner;
- The most common problems and how to fix them;
- Device equipment;
- Disposal features;
- Information about the body that issued the certificate of conformity;
- Warranty card, which includes the model and serial number of the air conditioner, the date of purchase and the seal of the seller company.
By strictly following all the instructions for the operation of the midea, samsung or any other brand air conditioner, you will ensure the maximum service life of the split system, increase its performance, get rid of the need for costly repairs or replacement of individual parts, such as a control board or compressor.
Basic rules for operating the air conditioner
Competent, exactly in accordance with the requirements of the instructions, the use will ensure the highest efficiency and productivity of the installed equipment.
- The main rule of operation says: it is forbidden to introduce foreign objects through the grilles of the split system blinds, as well as to allow children to work equipment.
- To cool the room temperature, set the temperature on the air conditioner in the range of 21-23°C. By setting a lower temperature in hot weather, you will not only create an additional load on the equipment compressor, but also provoke colds due to pronounced temperature changes.
- By protecting the indoor unit of the air conditioner operating in cooling mode from direct exposure to sunlight, you will significantly extend the life of the unit. Experts strongly recommend closing curtains and blinds indoors on a sunny day, as a bright light flux can interfere with the passage of the LED signal from the remote control. The most important condition for the proper operation of air conditioners is power saving: the compressor and fan will not fail for a long time due to wear of parts due to increased loads, if the doors and windows are tightly closed during the period of air cooling in the room. With this simple rule, you can enjoy fresh, cool indoor air and reduce the fan speed.
- Optimum air exchange and uninterrupted operation of the climate system are only possible if the space around it is free and not covered with curtains, and there are no objects located in the zone of intense air flow from the evaporator.
- The Panasonic air conditioner operating instructions say: air conditioners should not be installed in rooms with high humidity, since the dust that penetrates into the equipment is first moistened with condensate and then settles on the internal surfaces of the split system in a dense mass. The formed dust masses significantly reduce the intensity of the fan, in some cases they can even cause it to stop, clog the drainage system, which prevents the normal outflow of accumulated moisture, clog filtration systems and heat exchangers, and cause freon leakage. It should be remembered that moistened compressed dust is a favorable environment for the development and reproduction of pathogenic fungi that can cause respiratory diseases, allergic reactions and unpleasant odors. If the installation of an air conditioner in a room with high humidity is unavoidable, then the inclusion of the equipment should be preceded by thorough ventilation, and the working units should be inspected and cleaned by specialists more often.
- By keeping the internal and external mechanisms and components of the air conditioner clean, you prolong the life of the installed equipment. Cleaning the filtration system, even if the split system is installed in a room with normal humidity, should be carried out at least once every 2 weeks. By following this rule of operation of the air conditioner, you can prevent the loss of running gear power and clean the air better.
- If it is expected that the installed air conditioner will be idle for a long period of time, then before turning it off, select the ventilation mode and run it. This will remove the accumulated condensate in the equipment case and prevent the appearance of an unpleasant odor the next time it is turned on.
- If your air conditioner still marred your peaceful existence with its breakdown, then do not try to look for the cause of the problem yourself and even more so to carry out any repair work. The maximum that you can do is turn off the power from the electrical network and wait for a specialist who will quickly deal with the problem and bring the air conditioner back to life.
Remember: air conditioners, in particular split systems, are very capricious devices that do not tolerate amateurish treatment.
Features of the operation of a split system
The operating manual for a split system, unlike an air conditioner, is characterized by a number of individual features.
- First of all, they are connected with the fact that the environment has a negative impact on the external unit of the system, located on the street.
- To protect the climatic equipment from the effects of precipitation, it is better to use a special protective visor. The undercarriage of the outdoor unit is especially susceptible to large accumulation of dust and its compaction under the influence of moisture, and small animals and insects can get into the fan and heat exchanger.
- The instruction manual for any split system prescribes the mandatory cleaning of all components and parts of the outdoor unit and regular treatment with disinfectants.
- The indoor unit of the split system should not be installed near heating devices, sources of strong electromagnetic radiation, such as TVs, computers. Such equipment should be located at a distance of at least 1 meter from the air conditioner.
- Any split system installed in an ordinary apartment must be protected from power surges. To do this, you will need a circuit breaker and a remote control to control the device. By following these simple rules, you will ensure maximum comfort in the room and significantly extend the life of the climate control equipment.
Today, the World Wide Web provides a unique opportunity for each user to quickly and without leaving home find the necessary operating instructions for climate equipment. The largest databases contain documentation on all models and manufacturers of air conditioners, for example, you can easily find an instruction manual for a dantex or daiki air conditioner, or an instruction manual for any other equipment of a well-known domestic or foreign manufacturer.
Such manuals for the operation of air conditioners will help in the shortest possible time to eliminate the problems and malfunctions that have arisen. Extensive databases suggest the possibility of free downloading the necessary manual, you just need to find the manufacturer and model of the equipment.
