DEF.TIMER—Defrosting Frequency
This function indicates the time interval between two defrosting cycles. Use the
keyboard to enter the set value between “1-50” hours and press “OK” to confirm and
save. Set it as “0” to disable the auto defrosting function. Once the “defrost timer” is
set, the unit will automatically perform the defrosting cycle accordingly.
To find out the suitable "defrost timer" setting, the frosting time duration should be
counted from start of the low-temperature operation to the point that the actual
temperature start bouncing up due to the frosting inside the evaporation chamber.
Then set the "defrost timer" as somewhere between 1/10-1/5 of the frosting time
duration. For example, if the frosting time duration is 20 hours, the "defrost timer" can
be set from 2-4 hours. High relative humidity will require more frequent defrosting
cycle.
