Adjusting the Cabin’s Temperature
The main cabin temperature control at The Hideaway is controlled a Wall Mounted Air Conditioner and Heat Unit on the Living Room wall at The Hideaway. It is straightforward once you understand the functions of each button on the remote. Here's a detailed guide to help you achieve the perfect temperature settings for your comfort.
Overview of Remote Buttons
1. Power Button: Turns the unit on and off. A simple press is enough to power your device.
2. Mode Button: Cycles through the different modes of operation: cooling, heating, fan only, and dry (dehumidifier). Each press will switch to the next mode, usually indicated by icons or text on the remote's display.
3. Temperature Adjustment Buttons (+/-): Increases or decreases the set temperature. In cooling mode, lower temperatures will cool your space more, while in heating mode, higher temperatures will make it warmer.
4. Fan Speed Button: Adjusts the speed of the airflow. Options typically include low, medium, high, and auto. The "auto" setting automatically adjusts the fan speed based on the difference between the set temperature and the room temperature.
5. Timer On/Off: Allows you to set a timer for when the unit should automatically turn on or off. This is useful for saving energy or ensuring the room is at your desired temperature when you return.
6. Swing Button: Controls the direction of the air flow. This can be set to oscillate (move side to side) or remain fixed in one direction, depending on your preference for air distribution.
7. Energy Saving or ECO Mode: Optimizes operation to save energy while maintaining comfort. This mode adjusts the temperature setting and fan speed to reduce power consumption.
Best Settings for "The Hideaway"
For an optimal experience at "The Hideaway," consider the following settings based on different needs:
Cooling: If you're visiting in the summer, set the A/C to cooling mode with a comfortable temperature between 68°F to 72°F. This range is generally comfortable for most people. Use the auto fan speed for a balance between cooling effectiveness and noise level.
Cooling the Upstairs
Utilize the in room fans.
Close the curtans in the balcony bedroom during the day.
Open the sliding door in the Loft Bedroom to maximize airflow.
Heating: In cooler months, switch to heating mode and set the temperature to around 68°F to 72°F. This will keep the space cozy without overheating. Again, the auto fan speed is recommended.
We also highly recommend turning on the ceiling fan in the living room to help keep the heat down and circulating through the cabin.
Dehumidifying: If the day is particularly humid, using the dry mode can make the air feel more comfortable. Set the unit to dry mode with a moderate temperature setting. This removes moisture from the air without making the room too cool.
Fan Only: For days when the temperature is comfortable but you desire some air circulation, set the unit to fan only with the fan speed set to your preference.
Additional Tips
Comfort Air
The "Comfort Air" button on some LG wall-mounted air conditioner and heat unit remotes is designed to optimize the comfort level in your space by adjusting the direction of the airflow. When activated, this feature ensures that air is distributed in a way that avoids direct blasts of air on occupants of the room, which can sometimes feel too strong or create an undesirable cooling effect.
Here's how the "Comfort Air" feature works:
Airflow Direction: Instead of sending air straight out towards the occupants, the unit adjusts the louvers to direct air upwards (in cooling mode) or downwards (in heating mode). This helps to distribute the air more evenly throughout the room, creating a more comfortable environment.
Avoids Direct Drafts: By preventing air from blowing directly on people, the "Comfort Air" setting can make the room feel more comfortable, especially during extended periods of operation. It's particularly useful if you're sensitive to cold air or don't want the direct heat on you.
Automatic Adjustment: Depending on the model, this feature might automatically adjust the fan speed and the direction of the airflow to maintain the set temperature in the most comfortable way possible.
To use the "Comfort Air" feature at "The Hideaway," simply press the "Comfort Air" button on the remote. This is ideal for creating a cozy environment, especially during times of relaxation such as reading a book or watching a movie. If your remote does not explicitly have a "Comfort Air" button, look for a button that might suggest airflow control or comfort settings, as the feature could be named differently depending on the model and brand of the unit.
