Bad design

This is the control panel of an airconditioner, with a certain button circled. This button switches modes on the air-conditioner, a fan mode, a heating mode, a cooling mode and a dry mode. This works like a thermostat and in conjunction with the temperature control.


This is a close up. As you can see there is a picture of an 'A' surrounded by two arrows circling around it, so this must be the fan mode. Then its the snow flake, this must be cooling, then a drop of water, so this must dry it, then a sun so that must mean it is heating mode.
Well obviously its not, but it is an error made many times by people in my family as well as friends who have tried to operate it. The pictures stand for what the weather is like, not what setting you want the mode in. So the snowflake is, its cold outside so this must heat the house. Likewise with the Sun, Ive never even bothered using the other settings.

In order to avoid confusion, on the screen it should just use words instead of pictures. This should be no problem since the rest of the controls are in English. Also ive seen it done on other models made by the same brand, and even my mum knows how to use the other models.

All it has is:

HEAT
DRY
COOL
FAN

Surely it would make more sense to put that on the current model I have if its made by the same company.
