Outdoor heating exchanger temp. is over 14°C.
Defrosting operation lasts 12 minutes (maximum).
2 minutes after it is stopped, compressor is ON.
4-way valve is ON. Outdoor fan is ON.
If the air conditioner is turned off during the defrosting
cycle, it will continue defrosting and turn itself off after
defrosting is completed.

NOTE
■ Defrost detection and release
• This function prevents the circuit breaker or fuse from operating
to open the circuit. This function works when electrical current
has increased due to an increase in the cooling / heating load,
or to a decrease in the power supply voltage. In these cases,
operation frequency is reduced or operation is interrupted auto-
matically to control the electrical current for operation.
• When the cause of the increase in electrical current is rectified,
the system will resume operation in the original mode.
Electrical current setting for COOL operation is
used during DEFROST operation.
