Answer 1

Cool – Fan runs continuously and compressor cycles to cool to set temperature.

Energy Saver – Fan only runs when the temperature goes up enough to cycle the compressor.

Dry – Dehumidify.

Turbo – Cool mode with fan at maximum speed and no vent (if equipped) open to cool the room as quickly as possible.
