3. SEQUENCE When the power supply is turned on, the anti-condensation heater is energized immediately, the interior fan motor and condenser fan motor start, and the temperature display window indicates the cabinet temperature. The compressor starts after 3 minutes (soft start). A defrost cycle starts 6 hours after the power supply is turned on.

When the defrost cycle starts, the drain pan heater turns on to evaporate defrost water. The heater remains energized until the thermostat trips. [a] If the thermostat trips while the defrost heater is energized, the thermostat turns on and off the drain pan heater, and turns it off when the defrost heater is de-energized.

ELECTRONIC CONTROLS [a] SET POINT TEMPERATURE (mean temperature between compressor ON and OFF temperatures) Set Point Temperature HRE series: -6 to +12°C HFE series: -25 to -7°C Time Compressor [b] CABINET TEMPERATURE DIFFERENTIAL 3.5 K Note: On the Controller Board only. Actual differential may be 4 - 6 K. [c] DEFROST CYCLE Every 6 hours Note: During a defrost cycle, the Temperature Display Window indicates “dF”.

Display When the power supply is turned on, the Interior Fan Motor and Condenser Fan Motor start up and the Temperature Display Window shows the cabinet temperature, but the Compressor starts up with a 3 minute delay.
Some models are provided with a High Pressure Switch. If the high-side pressure rises to operate the Pressure Switch, the Compressor will not restart for at least 5 minutes to protect itself. Refrigerant Setting Part Code Type (bar [gauge]) Model R134a Cut in 24.5 456384-01...
[l] MANUAL DEFROST When the Manual Defrost Button is pressed, the refrigerator/freezer will start a manual defrost cycle. The refrigerator/freezer will start repeating automatic defrost cycles 6 hours after the Manual Defrost Button is pressed. To cancel the manual defrost cycle, turn off the power supply.
5. ERROR CODES In case of trouble, the Temperature Display Window will alternately flash every second between one of the following error codes and the cabinet temperature. The error codes are displayed in the following order of priority: Priority Code Error EEPROM Write Error EEPROM Verify Error...

The Compressor will restart after the 5 minute interruption, if the Pressure Switch is off and the Clog Thermistor senses a temperature below 50°C. The Compressor will not restart until the above conditions are satisfied.

A short circuit will not be detected for 1 hour after the power supply is turned on. When the power supply is turned on with the Set Point Button pressed, a short circuit will be detectable immediately after startup.
