7.2 Defrosting Operation 
In  order  to  recover  heating  capacity,  the  defrosting  operation  is  conducted  when  the  outdoor  unit  heat  exchanger  is 
performing as an evaporator. The defrosting operation is controlled according to outdoor ambient temperature, outdoor 
heat exchanger temperature, indoor heat exchanger temperature and outdoor unit running time. When the outdoor unit is 
running in defrosting, the digital display on outdoor main PCB will display “df”.
