Defrosting
Defrosting will be performed about once an hour when frost forms on the heat exchange of the outdoor unit, for
5~10 minutes each time.
During defrosting operation, the operation lamp blinks in cycle of 3 seconds on and 0.5 second off.
The maximum time for defrosting is 20 minutes.
However, if it is connected to multi type outdoor unit, the maximum time for defrosting is 15 minutes.
(If the piping length used is longer than usual, frost will likely to form.)
