DANGER
Risk of Fire or Explosion Flammable Refrigerant Used
• Do not use mechanical devices to defrost.
• Do not puncture refrigerant tubing. Risk of re or explosion due to puncture of refrigerant tubing; follow handling instructions carefully.
Risque De Feu Ou D'Explosion Le Frigorigène Est Inammable
• Ne pas utiliser d'appareils mécaniques pour dégivrer le réfrigérateur.
• Ne pas perforer la tubulure contenant le frigorigène. Risque de feu ou d'explosion si la tubulure contenant le frigorigène est perforée; suivre les instructions de manutention avec soin.
1. Refrigerators
Refrigerators use a time-initiated, off-cycle defrost and defrost once every 2 hours. As soon as power is turned on the 2-hr. defrost timer starts. Once the 2-hr. defrost timer terminates, defrost begins. When the defrost thermistor warms to 44°F (6.6°C), defrost terminates. The minimum defrost time is 20 minutes and the maximum defrost time is 1hour. DEF is displayed during defrost.
2. Freezers
Freezers use either a 5 hr. cumulative compressor run time-initiated or compressor 4-hrcontinuous run time-initiated heated defrost. Once the compressor energizes, the compressor run timers start. When either the 5 hr. cumulative compressor run timer or the 4-hr continuous run timer terminates, defrost begins. Cabinettemperature is not displayed during defrost; "dEF" is displayed in its place. When the defrost thermistor warms to 45°F (7.2°C), defrost terminates. A 3-minute compressor delay timer, a 7-minute evaporator fan motor delay timer, and an 18-minute temperature display delay timer start. As the delay timers terminate, the related components energize. Note that the 7-minute evaporator fan motor delay time is a maximum; if the defrost thermistor cools to 25°F (-3.9°C) before the 7-minute evaporator fan motor delay timer terminates, the evaporator fan motor will energize. Freezers have a minimum defrost interval of 5hours. The minimum defrost time is 5 minutes and the maximum defrost time is 1hour.
3. Manual Defrost
To initiate a manual defrost, press the manual defrost button.

H. Safety Devices

1. Compressor External or Internal Overload
If combined temperature/amperage value is above the limit specied 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 pressure on the high-side of the appliance exceeds Hoshizaki specications, the high-pressure switch activates and interrupts the compressor circuit, de-energizing the compressor until the 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:
• Door(s) opened too often.
• Door(s) left open. Close.
• Dirty air lter and/or condenser. Clean.
• Cabinet too tightly packed or cabinet air inlet/outlet 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.
• Temperature setpoint too high. Readjust it to a lower temperature.
• 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:
• Door(s) left open. Close.
• Ambient humidity too high. In high humidity areas it may be necessary to wipe off the cabinet frame occasionally.
