When choosing an air conditioner for your home, we most often pay attention to its energy consumption and basic capabilities. Other functions of the air conditioner, such as ventilation, air dehumidification, air filtration and disinfection, remain beyond our attention. But manufacturers are making more and more efforts to introduce new developments and useful engineering ideas into their devices that can make our lives much more comfortable.
Let's look at the main operating modes of air conditioners and the opportunities they provide to users.
Cooling and heating
Cooling has always been and remains the main purpose of any air conditioner. It occurs through the use of a physical process in which the refrigerant, passing from a liquid to a gaseous state, absorbs heat from the environment. This leads to cooling of the air flow entering the room (accompanied by a drying effect due to the removal of moisture from the air). It is necessary to calculate the power of an air conditioner for cooling as follows: for every 8-10 square meters of area, 1 kW of power is required for normal operation of the device.
The “warm” version of the air conditioner (with the heat pump function) allows you to produce 300-400% more heat compared to the electricity consumed for this. In this regard, its use in the spring-autumn period is energetically feasible, and the modes justify their presence.
However, in winter, when the temperature drops significantly below zero, compressor oil and freon in air conditioners change their properties. This may lead to rapid failure of the device due to operation in unsuitable conditions. The solution to the problem is the use of a special “winter kit” (which serves for additional heating of the entire system), which allows you to expand the range of “operating” temperatures to -30 C. However, in addition to converting the air conditioner into a heater, you will receive a device that shamelessly “eats” electricity (from - for low efficiency) and your money.
There is a separate class of air conditioners equipped with a heating element. They also use a lot of electricity and are not cost effective (compared to other types of heaters).
Ventilation
This air conditioner mode (fan) uses only the fan in the indoor unit, which draws in air from outside without heating or cooling it. The use of this function is especially important if the room is heated using a central heating system.
It is possible to turn off the supply of outdoor air, turning the air conditioner into a “mixer” of air masses in the room, where the lower and upper layers are heated with different intensities (warm air collects closer to the ceiling, and colder air below).
More technically advanced models have the ability to adjust the fan speed, so you can set different ventilation intensities.
Dry mode
This mode is suitable for over-humidified rooms; it uses a physical phenomenon in which moisture from warm air falls on a cold surface (condensation). The process of air drying also occurs during normal cooling, but not so intensely.
In addition, when the “dry” mode is activated, the room temperature practically does not change, and the compressor turns on only when it deviates 1 degree above normal (or half a degree below). The drying time lasts 10 minutes, after which there is a pause of 5.5 minutes and a two-minute activation of the normal ventilation mode. Upon completion of all stages, the cycle provided by the “dry” program is repeated again.
Automatic mode selection
This function allows the air conditioner to independently select the most optimal operating modes. The device’s automation itself determines how the user’s instructions can be achieved in the best possible way (this is achieved by combining ventilation, heating or cooling modes, replacing each other as needed). The system can independently start the air drying process if this helps achieve the required temperature.
Comfortable sleep function
Activating this mode reduces the fan speed in the external unit to a minimum, due to which the device becomes silent and does not interfere with sleep. In addition, the air conditioner begins to closely monitor the temperature and gradually increases or decreases it if necessary (if it deviates from the specified “comfort” zone).
The “sleep” mode allows you to significantly save energy: the device will stop working after a specified period of time.
Timer
With this function, the air conditioner will be able to adjust the temperature in advance, before your arrival, or stop working after a certain period of time (specified using the remote control).
“Defrosting” the heat exchanger
During operation of the device, the electronics of the split system constantly measures the temperature of the refrigerant contained in the circuit of the outdoor unit. When the air conditioner uses heating mode, the refrigerant accumulates cold (“removed” from the air in the room), which inevitably leads to its freezing.
When the sensors detect a drop in the temperature of the outdoor unit circuit below -6 degrees, the first defrost starts. It usually takes 10 to 12 minutes to complete, after which the heating of the circuit stops and the refrigerant again acquires the ability to accumulate cold.
The presence of such a function will be useful when operating air conditioners in the cold season.
Air purification and filtration
Modern air conditioners are equipped with multi-stage filters that can prevent both large dust particles and harmful microorganisms that are invisible to the eye from entering the room. The filter system has three levels of purification. The first is represented by a fine metal grill (for rough air purification), the second is an electrostatic filter that “attracts” microbes and plant pollen. The final cleaning step removes tobacco smoke particles and other sources of unpleasant odors from the stream.
Panasonic has developed a special catechin filter that can not only absorb dust, smoke particles and pollen, but also deactivate bacteria and viruses that fall on it. Catechin disrupts the ability of viruses to attach to healthy cells in the body by coating microscopic “spikes” on the surface of harmful agents.

To protect the compressor, a start delay of 3 minutes is provided.
If there is a power failure, the air conditioner will turn off completely. When power returns, the operation indicator starts flashing. To turn on the air conditioner, turn it on using the remote control - the on/off button.
In HEAT mode - heating, the supply of hot air begins approximately 5-8 minutes after switching on. This time is needed to heat the heat exchanger of the indoor unit. The "defrost" indicator goes out.
If the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit freezes in the heating mode, the defrosting mode is automatically turned on (for about 5-10 minutes), the “defrost” indicator lights up, and the fans of the indoor and outdoor units do not rotate.
When the split system operates for heating, the air conditioner transfers the heat contained in the outside (street) air into the room (the operating principle of a heat pump). Therefore, when the temperature outside decreases, the temperature at the outlet of the indoor unit also decreases.
Tips for using the split system midea/
Maintain a comfortable air temperature in the room (for example, 24 degrees Celsius).
Clean the air filter in a timely manner, and have the air conditioner cleaned and washed annually by the service department. Contamination significantly reduces cooling or heating efficiency.
Do not open windows while the split system is operating.
On a sunny day, close the windows with curtains.

The symbols on air conditioner remote controls are usually standard. Once you learn how to use one remote control, you can figure out any other. This is the average version of the description that we will consider.
Buttons on the air conditioner remote control
The air conditioner remote control is a monoblock with a display and control buttons. It runs on batteries.
At the end of the remote control there is an infrared LED, which sends a signal of a certain frequency to the receiving device located on the front panel of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The signal is processed and the device reacts accordingly.
As long as the user holds the button on the air conditioner remote control, the signal is continuous. The battery charge is used only at this moment. Since different manufacturers program their equipment for different frequencies, the Ballu remote control will not fit the air conditioner.
The only difference is in the design, it doesn't matter.
The functions of air conditioners are usually standard. Therefore, the buttons on the air conditioner remote control are the same, as is their interpretation.
Air conditioner remote control buttons:
- turning on and off;
- mode selection;
- increase temperature or time;
- reduce temperature or time;
- timer control button;
- blinds button;
- changing the direction of blinds;
- return to factory settings;
- TURBO mode;
- SLEEP mode;
- time setting;
- blocking the remote control.
If the display is backlit, there is also a special button to turn it on.
Symbols on the air conditioner remote control
“Communication” with climate control equipment occurs through the display on the remote control. Therefore, it is very important to understand what the numerous icons on the air conditioner remote control mean.
When switching modes the following appears:
- Snowflake– cooling is on;
- Sun (heat)– heating is on;
- Drop (dry)– dehumidification is on;
- Fan blades– ventilation mode is running.
- SWING– this is a command for changing the direction of the blinds.
- DIRECTION– now you can select the position of the curtains.
- FAN– select the air supply intensity.
Additional icons on the remote:
- CLOCK– setting the time;
- TURBO– mode of the most intensive fan operation;
- LOCK– remote control buttons are blocked;
- LED– remote control backlight.
The remote control is a necessary part of the air conditioner, because without it you can only start the device in automatic mode. If the “native” remote control is lost or cannot be restored, you can purchase a universal one. It fits all models and copes with a standard set of functions.
What to do if the air conditioner does not follow the remote control commands:
- Make sure that batteries are available and working;
- Check whether the case is broken, whether the screen is intact, whether the necessary symbols are on the remote control and whether the buttons are pressed;
- Make sure that the remote control is emitting an infrared beam. It can be seen in photographs or videos. If the remote control does not light up, you will have to buy a new one.
Often people who have just bought an air conditioner do not know which side to approach it from, where to press, etc. Today we decided to help you understand the air conditioner remote control, which is your main assistant in creating a comfortable temperature in the room. After reading this article, you will no longer have to ask yourself the question: “Am I using air conditioning correctly?”
Of course, there are a large number of different remote controls, moreover, each brand has its own design. However, every manufacturer, no matter how extravagant it may be, tries to make the remote control as easy to use as possible. Thus, it creates universal keys (of a common standard), by clicking on 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 plead laziness, you can think that instructions are a trifle. However, it contains the most important characteristics that you will need when using a new device.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 don’t be scared, you will gradually remember everything and easily control the temperature in your home.
Most popular buttons
These buttons are most often found on air conditioner remote controls and these instructions apply to many models.
Mode- mode selection (automatic operation, cold, dehumidification, heat, ventilation)
Fan– (this is not the same Fan that is in Mode modes)
The Fan button sets the fan speed (3-4 different speed levels)
Swing- direction of the horizontal damper (directs the air flow)
Press once, the damper will begin to swing up and down constantly, and when pressed again it will fix its position. Some models have the ability to set the direction of the vertical dampers; if this function is not available, then they must be adjusted manually, pointing them in the desired direction. Direct exposure of the air flow to a person is undesirable.
Temp- temperature (set, inside - outside).
You can find out the set temperature in the air conditioner settings, the indoor and outdoor temperatures (there is not always a thermometer on the external unit of the air conditioner).
Sleep- sleeping mode.
Reduced fan speed to keep it quiet. Every hour for 2 hours the temperature increases +1 from the set value. Then the temperature is maintained at the achieved level, and after 6 hours the air conditioner turns off. During sleep, our body temperature drops, and this function prevents us from getting sick/freezing. To clarify the data, see the instructions.
Clock– clock (shows the set time). Set time using temperature arrows
Time on (off)– turn on/off the air conditioner using a timer (don’t forget to set the current Clock time)
Setting the time for turning on and off the air conditioner with the latest mode and temperature settings. Pressing the button again will turn off the timer. Time is adjusted using temperature arrows
Turbo- increased performance mode (increases the rotation speed of the indoor unit fan).
Attention!Don’t forget that you shouldn’t turn on the air conditioner at -10C degrees Celsius. This may damage the air conditioner. Only air conditioners equipped with a winter kit can operate at low temperatures (down to -40C).
Let's look at the remaining keys:Each brand and model of air conditioner has its own “tricks”. Let's look at some buttons with additional modes and functions for the air conditioner.
Smart Saver– a very important feature that usually pleases budget-conscious 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 maintained 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 to zero. A very important function for rooms where children are often present.
Auto Clean– a button for disinfecting the air conditioner itself and drying its parts. This feature works very well for the device itself, you should press the key once every few days to help the device remove moisture. Thus, fungus will not form in the air conditioner.
Good sleep– this button will help you put the air conditioner into a “half-sleep” state: the device will work, the blade will be slightly open and the cold air will be directed towards the ceiling. This mode prevents you from getting sick and does not interfere with your sleep.
Eco– the button is responsible for the energy saving mode. The air conditioner starts operating at low speed. Used to maintain an already cold room.
Ok and Cancel- button to confirm and cancel commands.
Indicators and signals
Many models have a display on the interior panel of the air conditioner that shows you information about the settings you have made. Most often, the temperature set for operation in the set mode is displayed (sometimes the set mode is displayed).
If you do not have a display or have poor eyesight, then you can navigate by the information on the remote control display. You can also control the set parameters using the sound signal from the indoor unit. When each button is pressed, the air conditioner unit makes a “peep” sound, thereby indicating that it has received a command from the remote control. If you do not hear the sound, press again.
With this simple knowledge of how the remote control works, you will always be able to operate your equipment perfectly. It will bring you only positive emotions and set the perfect temperature in your home.
An air conditioner is, first of all, a device for maintaining the desired temperature in a room. The transfer of air conditioners from one mode to another occurs both manually and from a remote control. In any price category there are air conditioners with the same functionality.
The presence of operations on it depends on the configuration. As a rule, a household unit has several functions that are designated on the air conditioner remote control in the form of intuitive symbols. What modes the icons and inscriptions symbolize will be discussed in this article.
General air conditioner modes
The basic functions of an air conditioning device are found in every classic product, and they have designations of air conditioning modes in the form of symbols and inscriptions in English. However, most of these words require translation.
In this row, you can determine what functions the air conditioner performs in the form of the following inscriptions and signs:
- Cool – coolness, indicated by a snowflake.
- Heat – heating, there is a sun icon.
- Dry – drying, icon – drop.
- Fan speed – ventilation, a propeller is shown next to the inscription.
- Sleep – night auto mode. Star symbol.
- Timer – timer. Image of a clock.
- Swing – direction of air flow through curtains.
- Lock – child lock button.
When choosing an air conditioner for your home, you usually determine, first of all, energy consumption, and, of course, the minimum possible operations. And although the functions of the air conditioner: air dehumidification, ventilation, ionization and disinfection are not so noticeable at first glance, they significantly increase the comfort of living when using them.
What functions does the air conditioner perform?
The microclimate plays a huge role in a person’s comfortable living. Undoubtedly, being in a room with optimal temperature and normal humidity is much more pleasant than being in a room where it is hot and stuffy.
Although the main task of an air conditioner is to create a cool air flow, it also has other important settings, switching to which will improve the standard of living for household members.
Cooling the room
Each air conditioner is designed primarily to cool the air mass in the room. Switching to this mode is done on the remote control with a button where a snowflake is depicted, which means “cold”.
Good to know! Coolness occurs through a physical process, or, more precisely, the transformation of a substance (refrigerant, freon) from liquid to gaseous state.
When the air conditioner is in auto cooling mode, it turns on when the room temperature rises. After the degree readings have reached their configured value, the compressor in the external module is turned off (if it is a split system). For better comfort, the fan speed in the indoor unit is automatically adjusted depending on the room temperature.
The speed of the outdoor fan changes depending on the condition of the outdoor unit's capacitor. As soon as the moisture release decreases, which means the pressure inside the tubes drops, the compressor turns on and the speed of the fan located outside increases.
At this moment, the warm air formed around the condenser is discharged outside, and the icy refrigerant is driven into the evaporator of the indoor module. The heat exchanger is made in the form of a radiator (copper tubes are fastened together with aluminum plates). Cold air, passing through the grilles, is accelerated by a fan throughout the room.
Heating the room
When the temperature in the room drops, the automatic “cooling” mode switches to the “heating” mode. This is achieved through a 4-way valve, which changes the movement of the refrigerant. And as a result, the outdoor and indoor units change places, or, more precisely, the evaporator works as a condenser, and that, in turn, as a radiator.
Most often, the heating function is designated “heat”, which in Russian for an air conditioner means “heating”, “warmth”. A sun symbol is usually depicted next to the inscription. To switch the air conditioner to the automatic “heating” mode, you need to press the button with a miniature image of the sun and the light on the display should light up.
Air dehumidification
Air humidity in residential premises should be 40-60%. Sometimes it happens that this indicator is higher, and increased humidity creates discomfort. The function of dehumidifying the air mass with an air conditioner is simple.
Moist warm air passes through a cold evaporator (heat exchanger) and as a result, water from the air condenses on the surface. Moisture gradually accumulates in special containers and is then removed through the drainage system to the street.
In general, the dehumidification function can be divided into three stages:
- Dehumidification from the remote control button.
- Automatic drying.
- Switching to air ventilation and drying mode depending on the humidity indicators of the device.
Attention! When the air conditioner operates for dehumidification, the air does not heat up and the temperature in the room remains unchanged, contrary to the opinion of some ordinary people.
Fresh air supply
Over the past decade, supply-type air conditioners have appeared on the market. They differ from traditional split systems by the presence of a ducted air duct, in the system of which atmospheric air can be mixed up to 25% of the device’s power.
An air conditioner with such a mixture has a built-in membrane that regulates the operation of the channel. At the same time, its characteristic property is unequal throughput: oxygen molecules pass through such a membrane much faster and better than molecules of other gases.
However, in most devices in the middle and lower price range, in the “Ventilation” mode, the fan of the indoor unit simply runs idle, thereby distributing air around the room, without real ventilation. In devices that are capable of ventilation, there is always another plastic tube that sucks in air from the street.
Silent or night mode
What does the night function mean in an air conditioner? “Sleep Mode”, or translated into Russian as a night timer, creates favorable conditions for sleep. Switching the air conditioner to this operation is necessary in cases where the room temperature is high.
After receiving a command for “dark mode”, the fan in the indoor unit begins to rotate at a slow speed, reducing the sounds from the operating device. After a certain time set for sleep, the timer is triggered and the air conditioner automatically switches to normal operation.
Such orderly operation of the unit saves energy and reduces the noise level during sleep, and the smooth transition of the air conditioner from one mode to another allows you to reach the desired temperature in a short time.
Timer
When it comes to such a useful but little-studied function as a timer, you need to understand that it is present in almost all models of air conditioners. With its help, you can not only make automatic transfers from one mode to another, but also configure more economical operation of the entire device.
Turning on the split system at the time when it brings the greatest benefit to the family and turning it off when the household is away makes the timer a profitable and convenient device. Some manufacturers set one for a period of 12 hours, and there are also manufacturers who set several timers to turn on different modes in the air conditioner.
To set the time, you need to press the “timer” button, after which the signal light on the display will light up. The time can be set in 30 minute intervals for up to 3 hours. And in increments of one hour - up to 24 hours. To activate the timer, after setting the time, no later than 10 seconds, press the Set button. Using the timer, you can enable or disable many additional functions on your air conditioner.
Changing the direction of the curtains (Swing)
This operation allows you to change the location of the blinds in the air conditioner, which helps to purposefully distribute air flows throughout the room. To change the movement of the air mass, you need to turn on the Air divestion button (direction of movement) while the air conditioner is running.
And then, after a three-second exposure, press the “Swing” button. After accepting the command to switch to another mode, the horizontal curtains will automatically swing up and down. To raise the blinds of the air conditioner, you need to use the Airswing button.
Attention! If the air conditioner malfunctions, an error code is displayed on the display, which allows you to accurately diagnose the device.
Accessibility and popular features
Now many manufacturers, in order to attract buyers, improve air conditioners with additional functions.
However, some of them especially attract our attention, such as:
Comfort setting. Turning on the air conditioner in optimal mode from +20˚С to +25˚С
Air cleaning. Occurs due to built-in filters, which differ in permeability and in their constituent material. They come with coarse cleaning, which retains medium and large particles of dirt, as well as fine cleaning, ready to retain even pollen. And even the device can be equipped with filters that can absorb odors.
Ionization. Here the room is saturated with ions with negative charges. The function is designed to improve vitality, immunity and well-being of a person.
Defrosting. At the same time, the heat exchanger is not covered with ice for a long time, which is why its performance is greatly increased.
I-Feel. Setting the air temperature using the sensor in the control panel. Such a transfer of climate control equipment is possible in those air conditioners where the temperature relay, which changes the degrees in the room, is built into the remote control.
Air conditioners sometimes use forced ventilation “fan speed”, which is switched to in case of air circulation, ionization or purification.
The functions of each air conditioner are designed to create a favorable microclimate in the apartment.
On a note! If there are unfamiliar inscriptions on the remote control body, you can select the optimal mode using the “Mode” button. You need to press plus or minus according to this command until the transfer to the desired function occurs.
The list of additional settings depends entirely on the manufacturer and brand of the air conditioner. The designation on the case or remote control of one split system may differ from the same meanings from other manufacturers.
