7-1-7 Defrosting (removing frost)
1. Defrosting starts each time the COMPRESSOR running time reaches 7 hours.
2. For initial power on or for restoring power, defrosting starts when the compressor running time reaches 4 hours.
3. Defrosting stops if the sensor temperature reaches 46.4°F(8°C) or more. If the sensor doesn’t reach 46.4°F(8°C) in
