NOTICE: 

If timer is not set for a minimum of 3 defrost per day 

for 30 minutes each, the coil may develop excessive frost. This may 
lead to system failure and product loss, which is not covered under 
warranty.
The following procedure may be followed to customize your needs.

High usage, high temperature, and high humidity may require 4 
defrost settings per day. 

WARNING: 

Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended 

settings when programming the amount and duration of the defrost 
cycles.

STEP 1: 

The white tabs located on the outmost area of the time 

clock have been factory set for (6:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., and 10:00 
p.m.). Each tab represents 15 minutes of defrost time. Notice that at 
each defrost time two white tabs are set for 15 minutes each for a 
total of 30 minutes of defrost.

STEP 2: 

In order to program the time to begin the defrost cycle, 

flip the white tabs out to set the defrost time. To eliminate a defrost 
time flip the white tabs back toward the center of the Defrost 
Timer. 

STEP 3: 

TRUE recommends a 30 minute defrost cycle three times 

per day. 

DEFROST TIMER

DEFROST TIME CLOCK OPERATION FOR UNITS 
WITH MECHANICAL CONTROL 

RECOMMENDED DEFROST SETTINGS:

TRUE Manufacturing has factory set your defrost time clock to a 
recommended time and duration defrost scenario. All refrigeration 
equipment operating below 30°F will accumulate frost on the evapo-
rator coil and will require routine defrost. Your TRUE equipment has 
been designed for three defrost periods (6:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m. and 
10:00 p.m.). If you decide to deviate from these defrost time settings 
please follow the procedures for adjustment below.

TOOLS REQUIRED

• Phillips Head Screwdriver
• 1/4" Nut Driver or Socket

SETTING THE TIMER:

UNPLUG UNIT FROM POWER SUPPLY! DO NOT SET THE TIME 
BY ROTATING THE “OUTER” DIAL.

Turn the minute hand clockwise until the time of day on the outer 
dial is aligned with the triangle marker on the inner dial (two o’clock 
position).

ADJUSTING THE  DEFROST TIMER:

Your TRUE freezer contains a defrost system that is temperature 
terminated, however the time clock has been designed with a time 
termination back-up so that the defrost period will not exceed thirty 
minutes. While TRUE requires a minimum 3 defrost periods not to 
exceed 30 minutes the procedure on this page should be followed 
to customize your specific needs.
