• When a ventilation fan or a gas cooker is used in
a room, the cooling load increases, resulting in an
insuffi cient cooling effect.
• When the outside temperature is high, the cooling
effect may not be suffi cient.
• It may take a certain time to reach the setting

the size of the room, the ambient temperature,
and the like.
