Operating tips
The following events may occur during normal operation.
1 Protection of the air conditioner
Compressor protection
Anti-freezing
ambient temperature, frost may be formed on the
heat exchanger. When the indoor heat exchanger
temperature decreases below 0ºC, the compressor will
stop operation to protect the unit.
Defrosting
when the outdoor temperature is low but humidity is
high, resulting in low heating efficiency.
When this occurs, the air conditioner will stop heating
and start defrosting automatically. The defrosting time
may vary from 3 to 12 minutes.
During defrosting, the fan motors of the indoor unit
and outdoor unit will stop. The indoor indicator flashes
a malfunction. After defrosting is finished, the heating
operation will resume automatically.
