DEFROST SYSTEMS
Refrigerator coils are kept below the freezing point (0 C). During compressor down-time,
the evaporator fan continues to circulate air through the evaporator coil. This air
circulation raises the coil temperature above the freezing point, melting any accumulated
frost. Run-off water is drained into the evaporator pan and evaporated.
IMPORTANT!
Freezer versions do not defrost automatically. A manual defrost is
required when the formation of ice reaches 5mm thick on any shelf. Switch off the unit
and remove the frozen products, place empty containers on each shelf to contain the
water created when the ice melts. Provision to be allowed to soak up water from the
bottom shelf. DO NOT use any hard object to scrape the ice as damage can occur.
PLEASE NOTE: Excessive door openings should be avoided in order to maintain
cabinet temperature and to reduce the possibility of coil freeze-up.
