Heating operation does not start immediately - Outdoor unit defrosting

What does Heating Delay (Defrost) mean?

When heating operation is selected, the unit does not start blowing warm air right away. There is a delay before warm air is discharged.

• The outdoor unit may be in the process of defrosting, which needs to be completed before warm air can be blown out.
• Initial startup preparation when the unit has been off for a while or after a power cycle.
