5.2 Cleaning the Filter In order to maintain energy efficiency and prolong the life of the unit the air filter should be checked at least once a month to see if cleaning is necessary. In addition, trapped particles in the filter can quickly build up and cause frost on the evaporator.
6 Modes and Operating Conditions 6.1 Terms and Definitions TA: Temperature of indoor ambient. TE: Temperature of evaporator. TS: The set temperature. DAHT: Heater sensor. 6.2 Protection Functions The compressor restart protection has a delay of 3 minutes. ...
