8-2. Dry Operation (Dehumidification)
Dry operation uses the ability of the cooling cycle to remove moisture from the air, but by running at low level to dehumidify without greatly reducing the room temperature. The air conditioner repeats the cycle of turning ON and OFF automatically as shown in the chart below according to the room temperature.

Intermittent ventilation occurs by switching the indoor fan speed between L and LL.
DRY operation does not occur when the room temperature is 15°C or less, which is the monitor zone.
When the compressor stops, the indoor fan stops as well.
