7.2 Defrosting Operation
In order to recover heating capacity, the defrosting operation is conducted when the outdoor unit heat exchanger is
performing as an evaporator. The defrosting operation is controlled according to outdoor ambient temperature, outdoor
heat exchanger temperature, indoor heat exchanger temperature and outdoor unit running time. When the outdoor unit is
running in defrosting, the digital display on outdoor main PCB will display "df".
