What does the 'Preheat' or 'Defrost' indicator mean during Heating Operation?
The 'Preheat' indicator appears because the air conditioner uses a hot start control to prevent cold air from being discharged during heating operation startup. The 'Defrost' indicator appears when the outdoor temperature is too low, causing the unit to switch to a defrosting operation cycle. Both are normal operational states during heating mode.
