The unit will activate the reverse cycle defrost when the outdoor coil temperature has remained at a cold temperature to form the ice on the coil.This ice will reduce airflow though the coil and will also reduce the efficiency of unit. The LG PTHP will employ an active reverse cycle defrost function to melt the ice off the outdoor coil for insuring room comfort conditions and savings from extended operation.
The damper is opened and outdoor air is drawn into the room. This will reduce the cooling or heating efficiency. CAUTION When the air conditioner has performed a cooling or heating operation and is turned off or set to the fan position, wait at least 3 minutes before resetting to the cooling operation.
