Temperature and Humidity Ranges
If the outdoor temperature is as low as 0°C, the heating capacity drops up to 70~80% depending on
the operating condition.
If you use the air conditioner in temperatures over 32°C (indoor temperature), the cooling capacity may drop.
If you check the following tables, you can use your air conditioner more efficiently.

Heating capacity
The air conditioner may stop operating for the reason of protection.
Low temperatures
Water may leak and some malfunction may occur if the heat exchanger freezes.
Protection mechanism
Water may condense and drip from the surface of the indoor unit if you don’t use
the air conditioner for an extended period of time.

Operating Recommendations
When you use your air conditioner, it is recommended that you read the following:
Topic
Recommendation
Heating capacity
The heat pump inside the air conditioner absorbs heat from outside air and brings itindoors.
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 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 periodically.
This is normal; wait until the air conditioner turns on again.
Power failure
If a power failure occurs when the air conditioner is operating, the air conditioner will turn off.
When the power returns, the air conditioner will start 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.
