Turn off the air conditioner with the remote control
Turning off the air conditioner using the remote control still consumes electricity because the device is still in standby mode, and can operate immediately. However, at this time, the electricity consumed is almost negligible.
Temporarily turning off the air conditioner with the remote control has the potential to cause short circuits and fires if the power source is unstable.
Therefore, turning off the air conditioner using the remote control is the appropriate way to use when you leave the room for a short time and the room temperature is cold enough.
Turn off the air conditioner by power source (circuit breaker)
When turning off the air conditioner with the circuit breaker, the air conditioner will be completely disconnected from the power source and stop all operations to help save electricity, ensure user safety and increase product durability.
However, turning off the circuit breaker will affect the life and operation of the device and consume more electricity than if the air conditioner is only stopped for a short time.
In particular, sudden stoppage can also cause the air conditioner to short circuit, lose phase, damage the control circuit and many other components.

- Step 1: Use the remote control to turn off the air conditioner.
