TACK SWITCH & DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTION

1. POWER KEY Press to turn unit "ON" or "OFF".

2. FUNCTION Press this key to select refrigeration, heat or dehumidification.

( heating function just for model number

GDC-AC9RCS/ GDC-AC9RCW/ GDC-AC12RCB/

GDC-AC12RCW)

3. TEMPERATURE REGULATION KEY (UP)

This key raises the preset temperature by 1℃ each time it is pressed to a maximum of 30℃

4. TEMPERATURE REGULATION KEY (DOWN)

This key lowers the preset temperature by 1℃ each time it is pressed to a minimum of 15
℃ or 17℃( For GDC-AC9RW/ GDC-AC12RW/GDC-AC12RB, the minimum is 15℃, for

GDC-AC9RCS/GDC-AC9RCW/GDC-AC12RCB/GDC-AC12RCW,

the minimum is 17℃)

※ In normal conditions, the temperature data which appears on the panel is the ambient

temperature, not the temperature which is set by the user. When the user has adjusted
and set the temperature to his requirement, the data on the panel will return to the

ambient temperature 5 seconds later.
The ambient temperature will descend or change according to the temperature which is
set by the user, but the temperature descendant time and speed will depend on the
environment and space where the model is.
For example, if the ambient temperature is too hot or the room is too large, the speed for the
temperature descent is absolutely slow, and the cooling ef ficiency will be poor as well.

5. L.E.D. DISPLAY Indicates the temperature or the time setting. After any time set

the display will return to the preset temperature automatically.

6. SPEED Press to select either LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH or AUTO fan speed.

If "AUTO" is selected, the unit operates at maximum cooling
capacity when the room temperature less the set temperature
is above 2℃.
When the room temperature less the set temperature is below
2℃, the unit operates at middle cooling capacity.
When the room temperature equal the set temperature, the
unit operates at minimum capacity.
If "HIGH" is selected, the unit operates at maximum cooling

capacity no matter what the setting temperature is . The
"MEDIUM" OR “LOW" comes to the same.

7. PROGRAMMABLE Programmable timer ON/OFF key.
TIMER TIMER-ON: The timer-on is used to turn on the unit automati-

cally after the set time is over.

(Timer-on key is correspond to the functional indicator light)

1. Press the "TIMER" key at stand-by status to set the time.

indicating “DOWN”, and for each press the temperature will be
decreased by 1℃.

During the course of this cycle, to ensure maximum sleep
