Ambient Mode
(you only have to press down the A/F button to
switch from one mode to the other): this control method is ideal
when you want a stable ambient air temperature (without fluc-
tuation). Usually, this mode is used in large and often occupied
rooms where temperature variations can be uncomfortable. For
example, in a kitchen, a living room or a bedroom.
Some factors cause variations in ambient air temperature. They
include large windows (heat losses or gains due to outside tem-

ensure a uniform temperature.
