1. Automatic Defrost
Defrost is a time/temperature-initiated, temperature terminated heated defrost.
• Defrost Initiation: When the appliance is plugged in, the 6 hr. defrost timer starts.
Once the 6 hr. defrost timer terminates, the control module checks the defrost
thermistor for defrost initiation temperature of 40°F (4.5°C) or below. If defrost
thermistor is at or below 40°F (4.5°C), defrost initiates. If the defrost thermistor
is not at or below 40°F (4.5°C), the control module continues in cooling mode for
another 2 hours, then the control module checks the defrost thermistor for defrost
initiation temperature of 40°F (4.5°C) or below. If defrost thermistor is at or below
40°F (4.5°C), defrost initiates. If the defrost thermistor is not at or below 40°F
(4.5°C), the control module continues in cooling mode until the termination of the
next 6 hr. defrost timer.
The minimum defrost time is 5 min.
The maximum defrost time is 1 hr.
• Defrost Termination: When the defrost thermistor warms to 41°F (5°C), defrost

G. Food Storage
WARNING
• The appliance is designed only for storage of food. Employ sanitary methods. Use
for any other purposes (for example, storage of chemicals or medical supplies
such as vaccine and serum) could cause deterioration of stored items.
• Do not block air inlets or outlets, otherwise cooling performance may be reduced.
• Do not tightly pack the cabinet. Allow some space between items to ensure good
air ow. Also allow space between items and interior surfaces.
• Do not put warm or hot foods in the cabinet. Let them cool rst, or they will raise
the cabinet temperature and could deteriorate other foods in the cabinet or
overload the appliance.
• All foods should be wrapped in plastic lm or stored in sealed containers. Otherwise
foods may dry up, pass their smells onto other foods, cause frost to develop, result
in poor appliance performance, or increase the likelihood of cross-contamination.
Certain dressings and food ingredients, if not stored in sealed containers, may
accelerate corrosion of the evaporator, resulting in failure.
• Do not store items near air outlets. Otherwise, items may freeze up and crack or
break causing a risk of injury or contamination of other food.
H. Safety Devices
1. Compressor External or Internal Overload
If combined temperature/amperage value is above the limit specied by the
compressor manufacturer, the compressor overload operates independently to turn
off the compressor. The compressor overload de-energizes the compressor until the
temperature/amperage value returns to an acceptable level.
2. Short-Cycle Protection
There is a 2-minute minimum off-time and on-time for the compressor.
Note: Time may vary with compressor overload or high-pressure switch activation.
3. High-Pressure Switch
If high-side refrigeration pressure exceeds Hoshizaki specications, the high-pressure
switch activates and de-energizes the compressor circuit until the refrigeration pressure
returns to an acceptable level.

I. Cooling Performance
Be sure the appliance is properly installed and located for optimum cooling performance.
If cooling performance is not at its optimum level, check the following items:
• Drawers opened too often.
• Drawers left open. Close.
• Cabinet too tightly packed or air inlets/outlets blocked. Allow some space between items
to ensure good air ow.
• Warm or hot foods inside. Take them out until they cool down more.
• Ambient temperature too high. Avoid installation near high heat producing equipment or
exposure to direct sunlight.
• Not enough clearance. Ensure a minimum of 4" (11 cm) clearance between the bottom
of the cooking equipment heating element and the appliance top. Ensure cooking
equipment is set up per the cooking equipment manufacturer's setup procedure.
Ensure a minimum of 1" (25 mm) clearance at sides.
• Temperature at the appliance top too high. Ensure the temperature at the appliance top
does not exceed 180°F (82°C). For optimum performance, installation of a heat shield
(supplied by others) is recommended.
• Temperature setpoint not cold enough. Adjust to a colder setting. See "II.C.2. Adjusting
the Temperature Setpoint" for details.
• Appliance in defrost cycle. The cabinet temperature may rise temporarily during the
defrost cycle, but this will not affect the food inside.
J. Cabinet Condensation
In the event condensation develops on the cabinet exterior, check the following items:
• Drawers left open. Close.
• Ambient humidity too high. In high humidity areas it may be necessary to wipe off the
cabinet frame occasionally.
