Initiating a Manual Defrost Cycle
Defrost cycles are usually initiated automatically based on time or demand. Manual defrost is available if the unit is running and the 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 briefly shows [DEFROST], [PROGRAMMING DEFROST - PLEASE
WAIT] and then [DEFROST STARTED].
The display then shows the Defrost display. The bar indicator shows approximately how much time remains to complete the defrost cycle. The bar indicator ( Defrost Display) shows that the defrost cycle is about 25% complete.
Terminating a Defrost Cycle
The defrost cycle terminates automatically when the coil temperature is greater than or equal to 52°F (11°C) or the defrost timer expires. Defrost can also be terminated by turning the unit off and back on.
