Getting to Know Your LG Ductless HVAC Remote

The LG remote is compact and packed with power. Most models include all the functionality you need, including

• Power Button: Turns the system on and off
• Mode Selector: Switches between heating, cooling, fan-only, and dehumidification
• Temperature Controls (▲/▼): Adjusts the thermostat in single-degree increments
• Fan Speed: Cycles between auto, low, medium, and high
• Swinging or Airflow Direction: Sets the vane to a fixed position or oscillates for even air distribution
• Timer/Clock Functions: Lets you program automatic start and stop times
• Special Buttons: Depending on your model, you may see “Energy Saving,” “Jet Cool,” or “Sleep” options.

Your remote’s layout may look a little different, but these are the standard features that will keep your feet up while you adjust the heat and AC.

Core Operating Modes

Your LG HVAC system comes with five modes you’ll use throughout the year. 

• Cool Mode keeps your home comfortable on hot days.
• Jet Cool can also be cooled with Cool Mode for rapid temperature drops. 
• Heat Mode delivers the consistent, reliable warmth you want when the weather turns cold.
• Dry Mode is best for those sticky summer evenings on the Cape where the humidity runs high, but you don’t want to turn your space into ice. 
• Fan Mode circulates your air without the need to activate the heating or cooling options.
• Auto Mode is ideal if you’d rather not think about your heating and cooling at all and want to maintain a specific setpoint.

Adjusting Your Fan Speed and Airflow

When it comes to the comfort of your home, air distribution is just as important as temperature. 

Fan Speed and Auto Options

Using the Fan Speed button gives you more control over the circulation. Try the Quiet setting for nighttime use or when you’re trying to focus on work at home. Or you can turn on the Auto Mode feature to blast more air or reduce it as needed.

Swing, Vane Control, and Horizontal Swing Controls

Unlike other systems that funnel air into your space without much direction, your remote’s Swing or Vane Control moves the louver up and down to spread your air across your space. 

Many LG Ductless HVAC systems also come equipped with Horizontal Swing Controls. Instead of manually directing the airflow, your remote lets you adjust it left, right or sweep across the room, especially in larger living spaces.

Timers and Scheduling

Your LG remote comes with a timer and scheduling option to maximize your heating and cooling and potentially reduce your energy bills. To save energy, start your schedule before bed, after you wake up, or when you get home. 

You also don’t have to worry about forgetting to set it. Some LG models also come equipped with a Dailiy Timer to save and repeat your schedule automatically. 

If you prefer to adjust your heating and cooling when you’re already asleep, the Sleep Mode option adjusts the temperature. You get the sleep environment you want while stabilizing your energy bills. 

Energy-Saving Features

LG remotes include extras, including:

• Energy Saving Mode reduces your power consumption by adjusting the compressor operation.
• Jet Cool/Jet Heat is perfect when you just need a burst of cold or hot air to quickly adjust the temperature of a room and then automatically returns to normal to avoid energy waste.

Quick Tips for Effectively Using Your LG Remote

We also have some quick tips to make using your LG remote even easier:

• Point your remote directly at the indoor unit’s receiver.
• Move away furniture or curtains from your ductless HVAC’s sensors 
• Replace your system batteries regularly.
• Stick to consistent heat pump and remote settings to reduce the wear and tear on your system and keep everything running smoothly.

• Set the clock after changing batteries so timers work correctly.
• Hold the temperature button for five seconds to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Troubleshooting Remote Issues

If your LG ductless HVAC system isn’t responding to the basics, make sure:

• Your remote is in range of the unit.
• Make sure it isn’t in the middle of a programmed timer cycle. 
• Remove the batteries briefly to reset the remote.
