Victoria Owner's Manual
COOLING OPERATION
How it works:
In cooling mode, your victoria indoor unit will absorb heat from
the room, then the victoria outdoor unit will discharge the heat to
the outdoors. The victoria cooling capacity decreases as the outdoor
temperature increases. This causes the victoria to work harder and
longer to hold the selected room temperature.
Indoor Coil Freeze Protection:
Frost may form on the indoor coil during cooling operations when the
outdoor temperature below 50°F (10°C). Prolong operation may cause ice
to form on the indoor coil and block airow. If the victoria indoor
unit microcomputer detects ice on the indoor coil it will stop the
compressor to defrost the coil and protect the unit.
HEATING OPERATION
How it works:
In heating mode, your victoria outdoor unit will absorb heat from
the outdoor ambient, then the victoria indoor unit will discharge the
heat to the room. The victoria heating capacity decreases as the outdoor
temperature decreases.
During extreme cold outdoor temperatures, you may need an additional
heating source to supplement the victoria heating output.
Defrost Function:
In heating mode, frost may form on the outdoor coil during humid and low
outdoor temperature conditions. Prolong operation may cause ice to form
on the outdoor coil and block airow. This will reduce the victoria’s
heating capacity.
If the victoria microcomputer detects ice on the outdoor coil, it will
switch automatically to defrost mode to melt the ice and clear the coil.
During defrost mode, heating will be discontinued and the victoria
indoor unit will ash the Defrost indicator. The compressor will
continue to run while indoor and outdoor fans will stop. It is normal to see
steam or vapor coming from the outdoor unit during defrost mode. Defrost
mode will terminate 12 minutes after initiation of defrost cycle or when the
outdoor coil temperature is 50°F (10°C) or greater.
