The total time is 7 hours, after 7 hours the unit stops
11.11.3 Heating:
The set temperature decrease 1℃ per hour. Two hours later, the set temperature will maintain as a
constant and the air circulation is kept at low speed (Anti-cold function takes precedence over all).

11.11.4 Auto:
After an hour running under economic mode, the set temp will rise 1℃,if it is under cooling mode; the set
