Defrost operation
▪ Purpose
▪ Concept
- Heat exchangers are checked for frost formation based on the heat exchanger temperature (Cond out, Suction) and
the heating duration.
- Cooling mode is on until the heat exchanger temperature (Cond out, Suction) reaches a specific level.
- If the heating duration indicates that defrost mode should start, the heat exchangers are checked for frost formation based on the
electric current rise of the outdoor fans and then heating mode is on for a maximum of 18 hours (learning-based defrost)

- Checking the heat exchanger temperature starts 30 minutes after Safety Start mode turns off. Defrost mode starts if the Cond out or
Suction temperature of each outdoor unit is -5℃-
