We’ve all been there: you’re staring at your Mitsubishi Electric remote, and instead of a cool breeze, you’re met with a screen full of icons you don’t quite understand. Is it on “I-Feel” or just “Fan”? And what on earth does “Econo Cool” actually do for your electricity bill?

In this guide, we’re breaking down every single button and operation of the Mitsubishi Electric air conditioner. Whether you want to blast the air with Powerful Cool for a quick 15-minute chill or set the Off-Timer so you don’t waste energy overnight, we’ve got you covered.

Let’s dive into the settings so you can stop guessing and start relaxing.

Power & Basic Modes

To begin, press the ON/OFF button. Once the unit is running, use the MODE button to toggle through the following settings:

I FEEL Mode: The AC automatically chooses the optimum temperature for the room.
- Too Warm? Press the TOO WARM button to lower the temp by $1^\circ\text{C}$.
- Too Cool? Press the TOO COOL button to raise the temp by $1^\circ\text{C}$.
COOL Mode: Standard cooling. Set your preferred temperature between 16°C and 31°C using the warm/cool buttons.
DRY Mode: Dehumidifies the room. Note: You cannot adjust the temperature or use “Econo/Powerful” modes in this setting.
FAN Mode: Circulates air without changing the temperature.

💨 Airflow & Speed Control

Customizing how the air hits the room is key to comfort:

Fan Speed

Press the FAN button to cycle through:

Auto: Adjusts based on room needs.
Low / Medium / High: Manual speeds.
Super High: Maximum airflow.

Vane Control (Direction)

Press the VANE button to change the vertical angle of the air.

Auto: Sets the vane to the most efficient direction.
Swing: The vane moves up and down continuously to distribute air.

🚀 Specialized Functions

Feature	How it Works
ECONO COOL	Available in Cool Mode. It swings the air in cycles and raises the set temp by $2^\circ\text{C}$ to save energy while keeping you comfortable.
POWERFUL COOL	Forces the AC to operate at maximum capacity for 15 minutes to cool a room fast. It automatically turns off after 15 mins.

⏰ Setting the Timers

You can automate when your AC turns on or off using the SELECT and TIME buttons.

Select the Timer: Press the SELECT button until the “ON” or “OFF” icon appears on the screen.
Adjust Time: Press the TIME button. Each press increases the timer by 1 hour.
Cancel: Press the SELECT button again until the icon disappears from the display.

Pro Tip: If you manually change the fan speed or press the Vane button while in Econo Cool or Powerful Cool modes, those special functions will automatically deactivate.
