Gree AC Mode Symbols Explained #
The symbols on the Gree AC remote might seem confusing at first. Here is a quick guide to understanding what each icon means:
❄️ Snowflake & ☀️ Sun #
The snowflake represents the Gree AC cooling mode, perfect for summer. The sun icon is the Gree heater mode symbol, which turns on the heating mode for the winter season.
🌲 Tree Symbol on AC Remote #
The tree symbol is for the Health/Scavenging mode. This eco-friendly mode activates the cold plasma generator (if your model has it) to purify the air and help save energy.
💧 Water Drop #
This symbol represents the Dry mode in Gree AC. It acts as a dehumidifier, pulling excess moisture out of the air on sticky, humid days without over-cooling the room.
Advanced Features: I Feel, X-Fan & SE Mode #
| Function | What it does |
|---|---|
| What is I Feel in Gree AC? | This setting adjusts the temperature based on where the remote is located, sending the local temperature to the AC unit every 10 minutes. |
| X Fan Function in Gree AC | A self-cleaning feature. After turning the AC off, the indoor fan continues to run for a few minutes to dry the internal evaporator and prevent mold. |
| SE Mode in Gree AC | SE stands for “Save Energy.” This automatically adjusts the AC’s performance to the most energy-efficient setting to lower your electricity bill. |
