How do I use the heating mode on my air conditioner?

Last Update date : 2024-03-01

Samsung air conditioning units offer instant heating capabilities, functioning both as an air conditioner during summer and a heater in winter, making them cost-effective. Activating the heating mode swiftly generates a warm environment. Initially, the fan may not operate for the first few minutes to prevent cold airflow until the unit warms up. If additional heating is needed, consider using another heating appliance alongside the air conditioner.

When the outdoor temperature is low and the humidity is high, frost may develop on the outdoor heat exchanger, which may decrease the heating efficiency. When these conditions are present while Heat mode is on, the air conditioner runs the Defrost function for 5 to 12 minutes to remove frost from the outdoor heat exchanger.

When the Defrost function is on, the df indicator appears on the indoor unit display, steam is produced on the outdoor unit. Then, the air conditioner stops running to prevent cold air from coming out of the indoor unit.
