32602005GB.fm Page 33 Thursday, December 14, 2006 11:24 AM INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE The Principle and Special Functions of Cooling Mode Principle: The air conditioner absorbs heat from indoor air and discharges it outdoors, thus lowering the indoor room temperature. Cooling capacity decreases with a rise in outdoor temperatures. Anti-freeze Function: Frost may appear on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger if the air conditioner is running under low-temperature cooling mode.
