10. Defrost control
<SP56 only>
1) In heating operation, defrost operation is performed when TE sensor satisfies any condition in A zone to D
zone.
2) During defrosting operation, it finishes if TE sensor continued 12°C or continued 5°C £ TE < 12°C for
80 seconds. The defrost operation also finishes when it continued for 15 minutes even if TE sensor tem-
perature was 5°C or lower.
3) After defrost operation was reset, the compressor stopped for approx. 40 seconds and then the heating
operation starts.
∗
The minimum TE value and To value between 10 and 15 minutes after heating operation has started are
stored in memory as TE0 and To0, respectively.
