The moderate setting displays as four bars on the right-hand side of LCD control panel. System Setting: To access High standby mode, press and hold the “Auto” button for more than 5 seconds. You will hear a “ding” sound, and see the Control Setting bars go from High, to Low, to Moderate, then repeat the sequence and start blinking. If you release the “Auto” button when “High” is blinking, the system is set to High Mode (6 bars) and so on.
