How to Use Gree Ac Remote Setting for Max Cooling ?

If your Gree Air Conditioner is not Cooling there are several things to consider. May be it’s just that you changed it’s mode.

Ideal Remote Settings for Gree Ac Cooling :

1. Make Sure Cool mode is on, when it is on, a Tree icon will be displayed on the remote control and you will be able to set the temperature.
2. For Quick Fast Cooling when you enter the room and turn on the Ac and want cool air immediately in a hot weather, Just Press Turbo Button on your Gree remote control. In turbo mode, fan speed will be maxium.
3. If you are not using Turbo, then use the maximum fan speed, so that the air in the room should circulate fast.
4. In my experience Grill Direction is very important, make sure vertical swing is down and fan speed can be felt on the floor instead of roof.

Things To Check if Gree Ac is not Cooling :

If all above settings are fine, but your Gree Ac is not cooling properly. Then Check these things :

1. Clean Air Filter : Check your Gree Air Conditioner’s Air Filter, just lift up the panel on indoor unit, there is a simple Vent shaped air cleaner, make sure to clean it regularly.
2. Seal Windows and Doors : Check windows and door, if there is a gap below the door, it will leak the cooling. Similarly gaps in the window will leak the cooling. So, make sure to properly seal your Ac room.
3. Call A Professional : If your Air Conditioner is still not cooling after performing all above task, Call a professional for Ac maintenance and repair staff. They will do the normal servicing and check for the gas leakage in pipes between indoor and outdoor unit.
