OPERATING TIPS
Heating Performance
●
This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump principle,
absorbing heat from outdoor air and transferring that heat
indoors. As a result, the operating performance is reduced
as outdoor air temperature drops. If you feel that insuffi-
cient heating performance is being produced, we recom-
mend you use this air conditioner in conjunction with
another kind of heating appliance.
●
Heat-pump air conditioners heat your entire room by
recirculating air throughout the room, with the result that
some time may be required after first starting the air con-
ditioner until the room is heated.
Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting
●
When using the Heating mode under conditions of low
outdoor air temperature high humidity, frost may form
on the outdoor unit, resulting in reduced operating per-
formance.
In order to prevent this kind of reduced performance, this
unit is equipped with a Microcomputer-controlled Auto-
matic Defrosting function. If frost forms, the air condi-
tioner will temporarily stop, and the defrosting circuit will
operate briefly (for about 7 to 15 minutes).
During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION
indicator lamp (red) will flash slowly.
