         + Function: Automatically adjusts fan speed, humidity, and room temperature. This helps the air conditioner operate smoothly, providing users with a good night's sleep.

         + Operating Mechanism: The Auto mode operates based on temperature sensors integrated into the indoor unit. When activated, the fan in the indoor unit rotates gently for 1 minute. Subsequently, the air conditioner will automatically adjust the temperature, humidity, and fan speed to balance the room temperature.

When users select the automatic mode, the air conditioner will automatically adjust the temperature to make the space comfortable and pleasant.
