Initiating a Manual Defrost Cycle

Defrost cycles are usually initiated automatically based on time or demand. Manual defrost is only available if the zone is running and the zone evaporator coil temperature is less than or equal to 45°F (7°C). Other features such as door switch settings may not allow manual defrost under some conditions.

To initiate a manual defrost cycle, press the Defrost Key as shown ( Defrost Key).

The display will briefly show [DEFROST]. The Zone Select display will appear. Zone 1 has been selected ( Select Zone).

The display briefly shows [DEFROST], [PROGRAMMING DEFROST - PLEASE WAIT] and then [DEFROST STARTED].

The display then shows the Defrost display. The bar indicator shows approximately the percentage of time remaining to complete the defrost cycle. The bar indicator ( Defrost Display) shows that the Zone 1 defrost cycle is approximately 25% complete.
