SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

WHISPER QUIET

Not only are the Gree systems energy efficient but they are quiet too. Crown High-Wall units
operate with sound pressure levels starting as low as 22 dB(A).

MULTI FAN SPEEDS

Whether operating in either Cooling or Heating mode, the indoor fan can be set to your choice
of seven different speeds (Ultra-Low, Low, Low-Medium, Medium, Medium-High, High or Turbo)
to achieve maximum comfort.

INTELLIGENT PRE-HEATING

The Crown system guards against the annoying cool air blown into the room in heating mode.
The system constantly monitors the discharge air temperature. It will delay the indoor fan until
the indoor coil has warmed up to prevent blowing uncomfortable cool air into the room.

I FEEL MODE

The unit will sense room temperature at the remote controller instead of at the indoor unit.
It then adjusts airflow and temperature accordingly for the ultimate in personal comfort control
and energy savings.

SWING LOUVER

The unit has adjustable swing louvers which can be controlled from the wireless controller.
Vertical and horizontal swing louvers allows five different air discharge directions including
Continuous Sweep. Maximize comfort by adjusting the direction of airflow in the room by
moving the louvers up or down, right or left.

TURBO MODE

Use Turbo Mode for situations where you wish to achieve the desired room temperature in the
shortest possible time. This mode runs the unit at ultra high speeds for quickest results.

TIMER MODE

The unit can be programmed to turn ON or OFF after a specific amount of time. The time period
is adjustable between one half and 24 hours.

SYSTEM FUNCTIONS

MODE BUTTON

The unit can be set to five different operating modes: HEAT, COOL, DRY, FAN ONLY and AUTO.

NOTE: AUTO MODE has fixed setpoints of 68° F heating and 78° F cooling, which are
not adjustable. The system will automatically select heating or cooling to maintain room
temperature within this band.

SLEEP MODE

The Crown offers four selectable sleep modes for your comfort. The unit will automatically
adjust room temperature during your sleep time. This slight change in temperature will not
affect your comfort level due to the natural effects that sleeping has on the body, but it will
save on energy consumption and will lower electric bills.

X-FAN MODE

When operating in humid areas, Crown has a Dry Coil function that will allow the indoor fan
to run for a pre-determined amount of time after the unit is turned off (cooling or dry modes)
to ensure that additional moisture is removed from coil.

FAHRENHEIT °F / CELSIUS °C

The remote controller and Crown indoor wall unit displays can be set to display in either °F or °C.

LOCK MODE

The wireless remote controller has a Lock feature. The Lock averts unauthorized access or
tampering with system settings.

AGENCY LISTINGS

All systems are listed with AHRI (Air conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute) and
are ETL certified per UL Standards.
