8-3. Automatic Switching between Cooling and Heating
●
When AUTO mode is selected, the microprocessor calculates the difference between the set temperature and
the room temperature, and automatically switches to COOLING or HEATING mode to maintain the desired
temperature.
Room temp.
≥
Set temp.
➞
COOL
Room temp. < Set temp.
➞
HEAT
This means that if the room temperature is higher than or equal to the set temperature, COOLING operation
begins. If the room temperature is lower than the set temperature, HEATING operation begins.

if 1-hour has elapsed after the compressor is stopped.
The mode does not changes if the difference between the
room temperature and the set temperature is within 1
