Appliance Start=up Features
Once the appliance has been located in its
permanent location and the proper power and
grounding has been provided, the following
items must be checked or completed:
Cool Down Period
For safe food storage, allow 24 hours for the
appliance to cool down completely before loading
with food. The appliance will run continuously
for the first several hours. Do not place any food
in the appliance until after the first 24 hours of
operation.
Thermostat Setting
The appliance is shipped from the factory with
the thermostat set at about the mid-point of the
operating range. Adjustments colder or warmer
can be made after the appliance has been running
for at least 8 hours. Allow at least 8 hours for
temperature stabilization before re-adjusting the
thermostat.
Defrost Setting
The appliance is designed to defrost
automatically every 12 hours. To set the time of
defrost, wait until the desired time to defrost.
With the notch on the timer knob aligned with
the line on the bracket (Figure 6), turn the
defrost timer knob clockwise slowly. The timer
will click several times, then once loudly, at
which point the defrost cycle begins. The timer
knob will advance through the defrost cycle, then
click loudly at the end of the cycle. The appliance
will defrost automatically every 12 hours after
the first defrost cycle.
For example, to set the appliance to defrost
at 10:00 AM, turn the timer knob clockwise
at 10:00 AM until the timer clicks loudly. The
appliance will defrost daily at 10:00 AM and
again 12 hours later at 10:00 PM. NOTE: The
appliance interior temperature will rise slightly
during the first defrost cycle.
