Adjusting The Defrost Control
(time initiated, temperature terminated)
Your True freezer contains a defrost
system that is temperature terminated,
however the time clock has been designed
with a time termination back-up so that the
defrost period will not exceed twenty
minutes. While True recommends 3
defrost periods not to exceed 20 minutes
the procedure below should be followed to
customize your specific needs.
Warning
Always follow the manufactures
recommended settings when program-
ming the amount and duration of the
defrost cycles.
___________ STEP 1 ___________
Referencing the outer graduated time disk,
position the current time of day to align
with the “TIME” indicator. To move the
graduated time disk, grasp the adjusted
knob and turn counter clockwise until the
current time of day aligns with the “TIME
indicator.
___________ STEP 2 ___________
In order to program the time to begin the
defrost cycle, insert threaded trip pins into
the graduated time disk hole that
corresponds to your customized defrost
needs.
___________ STEP 3 ___________
True recommends a 20 minute defrost
cycle three times per day. Changing the
recommended duration requires pressing
down and sliding the copper duration
indicator.

Recommended Defrost Settings
True Manufacturing has factory set your defrost time clock to a recommended time and duration defrost
scenario. All refrigeration equipment operating below 30˚F will accumulate frost on the evaporator coil
and will require routine defrost. Your True equipment has been designed for three defrost periods (8:00
a.m., 12:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.).
If you decide to deviate from these defrost time settings please follow the procedures and adjustment
below.
