12.3. Soft Dry Operation
• Soft Dry operation can be set using remote control.
• Soft Dry operation is applied to dehumidify and to perform a gentle cooling to the room.
• This operation starts when the intake air temperature sensor reaches the setting temperature on the remote control.
• When operation begins, Soft Dry will be switched “ON” for a maximum 10 minutes, then Soft Dry operation will be turned “OFF”
for a minimum 6 minutes. After that, the Soft Dry operation will be “ON” and “OFF” based on the setting temperature as shown in
below figure.
• However after 3 minutes of compressor off, during Soft Dry “OFF” (within 6 minutes Soft Dry restart control), the indoor unit will
start to operate at normal Cooling mode if the intake temperature is higher than Cooling “ON” point.
