WHAT’S Cool?

A/C MODES, EXPLAINED NOT ALL SYMBOLS ARE MADE EQUAL. HERE’S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE DIFFERENT MODES IN AN AIR CONDITIONER – AND HOW TO MAXIMISE THE FUNCTIONS.
COOL MODE See a snowflake symbol? This is the default mode that your air conditioner operates in, which produces instant cooling results. Its main function is to bring in hot air and run it through the compressor to generate cold air. Once your desired temperature is achieved, the compressor shuts off automatically while the fan continues running to keep the air regulated. The cool mode works best if you want to maintain a consistently cool temperature throughout your home. We recommend keeping it at around 25 degrees Celsius to avoid overworking your unit.

DRY MODE Often categorised as a water droplet symbol, the dry mode works by reducing the amount of moisture in the air to maintain humidity at comfortable levels. Think of it as a dehumidifier – air gets dried down in the evaporator, before being released back into the room. As it does not blow out cold air, using the dry mode consumes far less energy than the cool mode. This function would be ideal during times of the year where the weather is increasingly humid, such as the monsoon season. Pull up the dry mode during colder months like December and January!
