Should the power fail while the unit is running
NOTE
If the power supply for this unit is temporarily cut off, the unit will automatically resume operation
(once the power is restored) using the same settings before the power was cut off.
Once the room temperature reaches the level that was set, the unit repeats the cycle of turning
on and off automatically.
In order to prevent the humidity in the room from rising again, the indoor fan also turns off when
the unit stops operating.
The fan speed is set to ''LO.'' automatically, and cannot be adjusted.
''DRY'' operation is not possible if the outdoor temperature is 59°F or less.
Because this appliance heats a room by utilizing the heat of the outside air (heat pump system), the
heating efficiency will fall off when the outdoor temperature is very low. If sufficient heat cannot be
obtained with this heat pump, use another heating appliance in conjunction with this unit.
When the outdoor temperature is low, frost or ice may form on the outdoor heat exchanger coil,
reducing the heating performance. When this happens, a microcomputer-controlled defrosting
system operates. At the same time, the fan on the indoor unit stops (or runs at very low speed in
some cases) and the ''STANDBY'' indicator appears on the display until defrosting is completed.
Heating operation then restarts after several minutes. (This interval will vary slightly depending
upon the outdoor temperature and the way in which frost forms.)
For several minutes after the start of heating operation, the indoor fan will not start running (or it
will run at very low speed in some cases) until the indoor heat exchanger coil has warmed up
sufficiently. This is because a cold draft prevention system is operating. During this period, the
''

(or when the unit is running at very low speed) by the thermostat when the system is in the
heating mode.
