Heating mode
The air conditioner draws in heat from the outdoor unit and releases it via the indoor unit
during heating operation. When the outdoor temperature falls, heat drawn in by the air

comfortable temperature can't be achieved by the air conditioner, we suggest you use a
supplementary heating device.
