FREEZER SYSTEM AND ADJUSTMENT
All self-contained value line and designer line standard freezers and low-temperature
freezers are designed and factory set to maintain an average cabinet temperature
of 0° F and -15°F respectively. All freezers are designed for the purpose of holding
pre-frozen food and although they are capable of freezing small quantities of fresh
food, they are not to be used as fast or blast freezers. Do not attempt to freeze bulk
quantities of fresh foods. The temperature control is accessible from the top of the
electrical console box located on the cabinet top behind the front grill (see figure 6).
if an adjustment is necessary to maintain the above temperature range only on
standard freezers, place a screwdriver into the thermostat slot and turn clockwise
for a colder cabinet temperature or counterclockwise for a warmer cabinet
temperature. On low-temperature freezers, place a screwdriver into the right
thermostat adjustment screw (do not turn the left differential adjustment screw)
and turn clockwise for a colder cabinet temperature or counterclockwise for a
warmer cabinet temperature. Further adjustments out of the factory design
temperature range must be made by a qualified refrigeration mechanic only.

DEFROST OPERATION
All freezer models are equipped with an automatic, electric defrost system consisting
of an electric evaporator coil and drain pan heater, automatic electric defrost time
clock, defrost high limit switch, and a fan delay switch. The defrost system is time
initiated by the time clock and temperature terminated by the high limit switch. The
time clock is factory preset for three (3) defrost periods per day at eight (8) hour
intervals and a fail safe cut-off time of 32 minutes. These settings should be
adequate for most conditions, however, depending upon use and climate conditions
a fourth defrost may be required.

The defrost time clock is located in the electrical console box where a window
allows access to the timer dial. To set the time of day on the defrost time clock,
turn the knob on the center dial of timer face counterclockwise as the arrows indicate
until the correct time of day is lined up with the “time” arrow on the upper left corner
of the clock (see figure 8). It will be necessary to reset the time of day on the timer if
the freezer is turned off or has loss of power. To relocate and/or add a defrost period,
simply unscrew the defrost pins located around the outer dial and screw them into the
desired time slots (an additional pin is located in a storage slot on the right side of the
dial).

Important Note:
All freezers have a unique, energy-saving defrost cycle. It is
time initiated, temperature terminated, with an automatic, auxiliary time cut-off safety
to minimize electrical consumption and provide for the shortest possible heating cycle.
This safety time cut-off is factory set at 32 minutes and should not require any further
adjustment. After defrost, the fan delay control prevents the evaporator fans from
operating until the evaporator coil has reached a temperature of 32°F (approximately
20 minutes) thus, minimizing warm air circulation inside the cabinet. Therefore, during
initial start-up, and after each defrost cycle, the fans will not turn on immediately.
