Air-conditioner operation temperature range
■Use within the following operational range. Operating outside of this range may result in the protection devices being activated and
preventing the unit from working.
Characteristics of HEAT mode operation
Mechanism and capacity of HEAT mode operation
xThe unit draws heat from the cold outside air, transfers it to indoors and heats the room. As a characteristic of heat pump system, the
heating capacity reduces when the outside air temperature gets colder.
xIt may take some time to supply hot air after turning on the air-conditioner.
xIf the outside temperature becomes extremely low, it would be better to use an additional source of heating.
Defrosting
If the outside temperature becomes low and humidity is high, the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit may frost over, which prevents efficient heating.
If this happens, the automatic defrost function is activated and the heating operation stops for 5 to 15 minutes during defrosting.
xBoth indoor and outdoor fans stop and the RUN light blinks slowly (1.5 seconds ON, 0.5 seconds OFF) during defrosting.
xThe outdoor unit may release some steam during defrosting. This is to help the defrosting process and is not a defect.
xThe HEAT operation resumes as soon as defrosting has been completed.
Press the FAN SPEED button
Set the fan speed as preferred.
A fan speed cannot be set under DRY operation.
