12. DEFROST CONFIGURATION
The Set-up menu ensures that the minimum required
for safe and effective execution of case defrost is entered.
Additional features and modification of the Defrost Cycle
(See Defrost) is performed using the Defrost Menu. There
are two sections for configuring defrost: Operation and
Schedule. The Operation section is used to adjust key
parameters that affect functionality such as type of defrost,
defrost grouping and valve positions during defrost. The
Schedule section simply defines when defrost occurs.
12.1 DEFROST OPERATION

The set-up is simplified by presenting the user with only
the parameter selections required based on previous
parameter value selections. Parameters that can be hidden
in the table above are shaded and assigned a
number in parenthesis. The explanations  correspond to
those numbers.
