About defrosting of the freeze

Setting a freezing operation mode (continuous, cycle) of the freezer
Freezer operation mode function allows the user to set the freezer to continuous operation,
cycle operation, or stop.
Continuous operation is used when placing priority on the temperature control precision, in
which mode the lower the set temperature becomes within the range of 0
～
30
℃
, the more
likely frost is generated.
In the cyclic operation mode, the freezer will repeat operation (12 min)
→pause (8 min) cycles
and the temperature control precision is slightly lower than the continuous operation mode
but can reduce frosting. When the set temperature is 10
℃
is less, the freezer will
automatically switches to the continuous operation because of its freezing capacity.
You can also reduce drying out of moisture of the specimen by setting to the cyclic operation.
Caution
●
Even if the cyclic operation mode is set, frost amount will differ depending on the operating
conditions and it may gradually increase as operating duration becomes longer. When the
amount of frost is large, carry out the defrost operation or the cyclic defrost operation to remove
frost.
Before carrying out defrosting, be sure to place a drain pan to receive meltwater from the drain
hose.
