    • First press: Activates the fan.
    • Second press: Starts forced cooling for 30 minutes, then switches to auto mode at 76°F.

When to Use Force Start:

  • Quick Cooling: Use when you need immediate cooling without the remote or app.
  • Troubleshooting: Ideal for technicians during maintenance.
