Automatic Defrost Cycle
Running a Manual Defrost Cycle
•
Units are pre-programmed to run automatic defrost cycles at preset intervals. However, if you
would like to run a manual defrost cycle at any time, follow the steps below. Only models with
digital controls can run a manual defrost cycle. Units with mechanical controls cannot run a
manual defrost cycle.
•
Refrigerators: Press the defrost button (Snowflake and ▼) for approximately 3 seconds.
Repeat to stop the defrost cycle.
Loading Product
•
Before loading shelves, be sure that all shelf clips are completely fastened in their correct
locations.
•
Ensure all shelves are resting completely level before stocking your cabinet with product.
•
In order to maintain correct airflow inside the unit, be sure to leave 2-4" of space between
the back wall and stored product. Blocking the evaporator fans will result in a warmer cabinet
temperature, and ultimately compressor failure.
•
DO NOT store flammable/explosive gas or liquids inside the unit.
Loading Food Pans
•
These units are designed to function with ALL pans in place, even if some are to be left empty.
•
For maximum food freshness, fill the pans only with the amount that can be used in a specific
usage period.
•
During non-use, close the insulated lid cover.
•
Refrigerator coils are kept below the freezing point (32°F).
•
During compressor downtime, the evaporator fan continues to circulate air through the evaporator
coil. This air circulation raises the coil temperature above the freezing point, melting any
accumulated frost.
•
Run-o water is drained into the evaporator pan and evaporated.
•
Automatic defrost timers initiate at pre-set intervals and for a pre-determined duration.
