Operating Recommendations
When you use your air conditioner, it is recommended to read the following :
Topic
Recommendation
Heating capacity
The heat pump inside the air conditioner absorbs
heat from outside air and brings it indoors.
If the temperature of the outside air drops, the
air conditioner heats less. If the room is not warm
enough, use an additional heating appliance.
Warm air circulation
The air conditioner circulates warm air to heat
your room. It will take some time to warm the
air in your room entirely after the air conditioner
turns on. Therefore, turn the air conditioner on
in advance.
Frost
When you select the Heat mode, frost may form in
the outdoor unit due to the low temperature and
high humidity.
If this happens :
The heating operation is stopped.
The air conditioner defrosts automatically
for about 7 minutes.
After about 7 minutes, the air conditioner starts
operating again normally.
High indoor and outdoor
temperatures
If both the indoor and outdoor temperatures are
high when you select the Heat mode, the fan and
the compressor of the outdoor unit may stop at
times. This is normal; wait until the air conditioner
turns on again.
Power failure
If power failure occurs when the air conditioner is
operating, the air conditioner turns off.
When the power returns, the air conditioner starts
up again automatically.
Protection mechanism
When the air conditioner is started immediately
after being plugged in or stopped, the normal
operation starts up after 3 minutes for the reason
of protection.
E-22
