Is there any water turning to ice in the "pan?" Or does the Gree flush the defrost water completely away from the unit?

I've been watching the slab under the Gree. I see some ice after a night where I've noticed defrost cycles.
But there is no ice visible when looking into the bottom pan..
I did not attach the hose fitting or install the large drain slot plugs.
The bottom pan does have a fat heating wire on the bottom, and it seems to work.
Mostly the cycles run when it's been snowing for a while, but not always.
The power button (logo) LEDs flash while the cycle is running.
Very cold air drifts down from the indoor unit, but no fan action. One reading was 17 deg F..
Then there is a loud gusting sound, followed by normal heating operation..
Looking at the video display, the defrost is almost always 100% effective in removing the blockage..
I can get a similar defrost on a Sanyo, using the dehumidify mode for 15 minutes..
