Coil frost prevention
To prevent indoor coil frost, the compressor will stop when the indoor coil thermistor (RT2) reads 1°C or below after the com-
pressor has been continuously operated for 16 minutes or more. The coil frost prevention is released under any of the fol-
lowing conditions.
●
The indoor coil thermistor rises to 10°C or above.
●
The room temperature becomes equal to or lower than the set temperature.
●
COOL mode is stopped or changed to another mode.
NOTE : By cutting the jumper wire JRO2 on the indoor controller board, the temperature to start coil frost prevention changes
from 1°C to -3°C.

Coil frost protection
When indoor coil temperature becomes -15°C or below, coil frost protection will proceed as follows.
<Start condition>
After the compressor has been continuously operated for 3 minutes or more, and the indoor coil temperature has been
-15°C or below for 3 minutes, the coil frost protection will start.
<Coil frost protection>
Compressor stops for 6 minutes, and then restarts.
lf the start condition is satisfied again during the first 10 minutes of compressor operation, both the indoor and outdoor
units stop, and the remote controller displays this occurrence.
<Termination conditions>
Coil frost protection is released when the start condition is not satisfied again during the allowance, or when the COOL
mode stops or changes to another mode.
