It’s currently 38 degrees Celsius outside.

My ac remote also has things like “I Feel”, “Health”, “Turbo”.

What do they all mean?

Cool – cools to temperature set, will not operate if temperature falls below set point

Heat – heats to temperature set, will not operate if temperature goes above set point

Auto – aims to stay at set temperature, will heat and cool to hit this temperature

Dry – sets the temperature slightly below ambient to promote condensation on the AC unit and draw moisture from the air. This will reduce humidity.
