6 Special Control
6.1 Oil Return Operation
In order to prevent the compressor from running out of oil, the oil return operation is conducted to recover oil that has
flowed out of the compressor and into the refrigerant piping. When the oil return operation is being conducted, the
outdoor unit refrigerant system main PCB displays code d0.
Timing of oil return operation:
When the compressor cumulative operating time with running rotation speed less than 42rps reaches 6 hours.
The oil return operation ceases when any one of the following three conditions occurs:
Oil return operation duration reaches 5 minutes.
Compressor stops.
Mode change command is received.
Tables 3-6.1 show component control during oil return operation in cooling mode.

6.2 Defrosting Operation
In order to recover heating capacity, the defrosting operation is conducted when the outdoor unit air side heat exchanger
is performing as a condenser. The defrosting operation is controlled according to outdoor ambient temperature, air side
heat exchanger refrigerant outlet temperature and the compressor running time.

6.3 Fast DHW Operation
Fast DHW operation is used to quickly meet a requirement for domestic hot water when DHW priority has been set on the
