ADJUSTING DEFROST DURATION

The defrost cycle is terminated by a temperature- sensing switch located on the suction line, adjacent to the evaporator coil.

The defrost duration is factory-set. Normally, no adjustment is required. For a longer defrost time, press down on the inner dial pointer and rotate the pointer until the desired time lines up.

Important

The coil defrosts only until the temperature-sensing switch terminates the cycle, regardless of the defrost duration that is set.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS

The temperature controls are factory-set to maintain an average temperature of 38°F in refrigerators, and an average temperature of 0°F in freezers.

The temperature variance is 6-8 degrees. A freezer should run between -2 to -3°F and +3 to +4°F. A refrigerator should run between +35 to +36°F and +41 to +42°F.

For a different cabinet temperature setting, turn the temperature control knob or screw, located on the evaporator coil/blower housing.

Important

Setting the temperature control to the coldest setting may cause the coil and/or air ducts to freeze and ice up. This will eventually result in a warmer cabinet temperature.

If ice accumulation occurs and the temperature is lower than the guidelines, turn the control knob to a warmer setting.

!Caution

Allow the cabinet to reach proper operating temperature before filling it with product. Do not place hot or steaming foods in the cabinet.

!Caution

Store products with high acid content (such as lettuce, other fresh vegetables or fruits, salad dressings, etc.) in closed containers. This will prevent corrosion on the evaporator coil and other metal parts in the air distribution system.
