Each air conditioner model comes with a different remote design. In this article, Mytour reveals effective knowledge on using the Toshiba air conditioner remote so that you can operate quickly, easily, and more efficiently. 

 1. Identify the air conditioner model

To make it more convenient when using the Toshiba air conditioner remote, the first thing you need to do is identify the model of the air conditioner you are using. The name of the air conditioner is always printed by the manufacturer on the machine's box or on the energy label attached to the unit. You can easily check in the specified areas.

• Mini air conditioner – Compact design, efficient cooling
• Sharp air conditioner – Super durable, energy-saving
• Inverter air conditioner – Instant cooling, energy-efficient
• 2-horsepower air conditioner – Power equivalent to 2 horsepower

 2. Explore the features on the remote

Each feature on the Toshiba air conditioner remote is set in a different button. Therefore, to understand the device's features, you need to understand the role of each button. 

 3. Basic operating modes

To conveniently and effectively use Toshiba air conditioner, you need to understand the basic operating modes of the device.

• Press the “Power On/Off” button to turn on the device.
• Press the “Mode” button to select the operating mode for the air conditioner. Toshiba air conditioner typically has the following operating modes:
  • Auto mode – displayed as A: When users choose this mode, the air conditioner will automatically set a temperature and fan speed suitable for the room. This function is possible because of a built-in sensor thermometer in the Toshiba air conditioner.
  • Cooling mode – snowflake icon: When selecting this mode, the air conditioner will provide a cool and comfortable airflow with a minimum temperature of 17°C. You can also adjust the temperature and fan speed according to your needs.
  • Dry mode – 2 water droplets icon: This mode can dry the air, reducing humidity in the room. When this mode is turned on, the fan speed will be automatically set and cannot be adjusted. Dry mode is suitable for places with high humidity.
  • Fan only mode – fan blade icon: When this mode is activated, the air conditioner will operate almost like a fan. At this time, the temperature will not be displayed on the remote.
• Press the Temp button with the up and down arrows to change the temperature. Each press increases/decreases the temperature by 1°C.

4. Adjusting fan speed

Adjusting the fan speed can meet the needs of users who want strong or gentle airflow. On the Toshiba air conditioner remote, to adjust the fan speed, you need to press the “Fan” button. Each press allows you to choose the desired speed with levels including: Auto > Low > Low Medium > Medium > Medium High > High.

• 1.5 HP air conditioner – Air purification, automatic temperature adjustment
• Ceiling air conditioner – Bringing fresh air

 5. Adjusting airflow direction

The function of adjusting the airflow direction should be used when starting the air conditioner or when you want to cool down quickly. To operate, simply press the “FIX” button following the down arrow to expand the fan blade range, directing the air downwards for instant cooling efficiency.

When the room temperature reaches the desired level and you want the cool air to spread comfortably throughout the room without being too cold, press the “FIX” button following the upward arrow.

If you want the wind direction to change automatically, press the “SWING” button to set the mode and press it again to turn it off.

Especially, you should not exert external force on the air conditioner's swing blades as this may damage the device or pose a danger to users.

6. Energy-saving mode

As its name suggests, when the power-saving mode is activated, the air conditioner will adjust its power and fuel consumption to save energy. On the Toshiba air conditioner remote, the energy-saving mode is set at the Eco button.

• To activate the energy-saving mode: Press the “Eco” button once.
• To stop the energy-saving mode: Press the “Eco” button again.

Also, you need to note that: 

• The energy-saving mode will not work if the air conditioner is in the “Fan Only” or “Dry” mode.
• In case the air conditioner is set to the “Cool” cooling mode and the “Eco” mode is activated, the temperature will automatically increase by 1°C every 2 hours, with a maximum increase of 2°C.

7. High Power Mode

The high power mode allows the unit to operate at a high power level and can cool the room faster than the normal mode. To set this mode on the Toshiba air conditioner remote, you need to press the “Hi Power” button. If you want to turn off this mode, press the “Hi Power” button again.

In some cases, if you find the “Hi Power” mode not working, check what mode your air conditioner is operating in. The high power mode cannot be activated if the air conditioner is in the “Fan Only” or “Dry” mode.

 8. Self-Cleaning Mode

The automatic self-cleaning mode of the Toshiba air conditioner is pre-set in the system. You don't need to configure it to activate this feature.

After turning off the unit, the automatic cleaning function of the air conditioner will start.

At this point, the fan system will completely dehumidify the evaporator to remove moisture and eliminate dust, mold, ensuring a clean and healthy environment. Next, all the collected dirt will follow the water path and be drained away.

This feature ensures the efficiency of the air conditioner, actively supports air purification, and increases the lifespan of the unit. Additionally, maintaining a clean evaporator will shorten the cooling time and save energy consumption. However, the self-cleaning mode on this Toshiba air conditioner will only operate after the unit has been turned on for more than 10 minutes and must be turned off with the remote.

9. Set the Timer Off Mode

For Toshiba air conditioners, the timer function allows users to set a delayed shutdown. To configure the timer off mode on the Toshiba air conditioner remote, follow these steps:

• Step 1: Press the “Off” button to activate the timer mode.
• Step 2: Press the “increase/decrease” button to adjust the desired timer duration. You can set it within a time frame of 0.5 – 12 hours.
• Step 3: Next, press the “Off” button once more to complete the setup process.
• Step 4: If you want to cancel the timer mode, press the “Off” button once more.

 10. Automatic Restart Function

The automatic restart function on Toshiba air conditioners is seamlessly integrated into the system. In the event of a sudden power outage while in use, the air conditioner will automatically restart once power is restored. The previously set functions will still apply. However, note that the scheduled timer on/off mode of the air conditioner will not operate in these cases. Therefore, remember to readjust the air conditioner timer settings based on your needs.
