Heat mode
Use the Heat mode to stay warm.
► ► Select Heat.
NOTE
• This mode is supported by heating models only:
AR✴✴KP✴✴ series.
• While the air conditioner warms up, the fan may not
operate for about 3 to 5 minutes at the beginning to
prevent cold blasts.
• If the air conditioner heats insufficiently, use an additional
heating appliance in combination with the air conditioner.
• When the outdoor temperature is low and the humidity is
high in Heat mode, frost may develop on the outdoor heat
exchanger. This may also decrease the heating efficiency.
If this occurs, the air conditioner runs the defrost function
for 5 to 12 minutes to remove frost from the outdoor heat
exchanger.
• When the defrost function is running, no air comes out
from the indoor unit in order to prevent cold air from
coming out. When the defrost function is finished, warm
air comes out after a while.
• The cycle of the defrost function may be shortened
depending on the amount of frost on the outdoor unit.
• The cycle of the defrost function may be shortened
depending on the humidity from rain and snow, too.
• When the defrost function is running, you cannot select
other functions with the remote control. Select them after
the defrost function is finished.
The heating functions of the Samsung air conditioner keep an enclosed space warm and
