8-11-3. Ending Condition at Defrost
Operation
(1) When the compressor current becomes 7,5A or
more during defrost operation, the defrost opera-
tion stops and the heat operation restarts. (The
current sensor detects the compressor current.)
(2) The defrost operation continues for at most 6
minutes or 10 minutes.
DEFROST LAMP :
• During defrost operation, the PRE-DEF. lamp is
on and the indoor and outdoor fans are off.
• The compressor start protection timer is inter-
locked with the PRE-DEF. lamp. So the PRE-
DEF. lamp is off (the fans stop) for about 3 min-
utes after the START/STOP button is turned
on. When the compressor is turned on, the
PRE-DEF. lamp comes on. After the heat ex-
changer is preheated to about 30°C or higher,
the PRE-DEF. lamp goes off, and the indoor
fan starts.
