(4) Detecting abnormalities in the outdoor unit
After the compressor has been continuously operated for 3 minutes, if the difference between the indoor coil temperature
and room temperature is out of RANGE C for 1 minute, the indoor fan speed will turn to LOW. Five minutes later, if the dif-
ference is still out of RANGE C,the outdoor unit is functioning abnormally. Thus, the compressor stops and check code "P8"
appears on remote controller.
RANGE A : Indoor coil temperature is more than 9 degrees above room temperature.
RANGE B : Indoor coil temperature is within 9 degrees either way of room temperature.
RANGE C : Indoor coil temperature is more than 9 degrees below room temperature.

(5) Drain pump control
The drain pump works in COOL or DRY operation.
The drain pump does not work in check mode.
<Drain sensor>
When both the drain pump and unit are operating, the drain sensor detects the temperature. This temperature tells whether
the drain water level is above or under the drain sensor. If the drain water level rises above the drain sensor due to a drain
pump malfunction, the unit will stop operating in order to prevent drain from overflowing. The check code "P5" on the
remote controller will display this occurrence.
(6) Dew prevention heater
To prevent dew from accumulating on the grille, the dew prevention heater is continuously ON during COOL operation.
It is independent of the thermostat ON/OFF.
