Ifthe temperature or the humidity is beyond these conditions,safety devices may be put in action and the air conditionermay not operate.15.2 Operating the system15.2.1 About operating the system▪ To protect the unit, turn on the main power switch 6 hours beforeoperation.▪ If the main power supply is turned off during operation, operationwill restart automatically after the power turns back on again.15.2.2 About cooling, heating, fan only, andautomatic operation▪ The air flow rate may adjust itself depending on the roomtemperature or the fan may stop immediately. This is not amalfunction.15.2.3 About the heating operationIt may take longer to reach the set temperature for general heatingoperation than for cooling operation.The following operation is performed in order to prevent the heatingcapacity from dropping or cold air from blowing.Defrost operationIn heating operation, freezing of the outdoor unit's air cooled coilincreases over time, restricting the energy transfer to the outdoorunit's coil. Heating capability decreases and the system needs to gointo defrost operation to be able to deliver enough heat to the indoorunits.The indoor unit will stop fan operation, the refrigerant cycle willreverse and energy from inside the building will be used to defrostthe outdoor unit coil.The indoor unit will indicate defrost operation on the display .Hot startIn order to prevent cold air from blowing out of an indoor unit at thestart of heating operation, the indoor fan is automatically stopped.The display of the user interface shows . It may take sometime before the fan starts. This is not a malfunction.
