HOW THE AIR CONDITIONER WORKS
The following events may occur during normal operation.
1. Protection of the air conditioner.
Compressor protection
The compressor can't restart for 3 minutes after it stops.
Anti-cold air (Reverse cycle models only)
The unit is designed not to blow cold air on HEAT mode, when the indoor heat exchanger
is in one of the following three situations and the set temperature has not been reached.
A) When heating has just starting.
B) Defrosting.
C) Low temperature heating.
The indoor or outdoor fan stop running when defrosting (Reverse cycle models only).
Defrosting (Reverse cycle models only)
Frost may be generated on the outdoor unit during heat cycle when outdoor temperature
