•
During compressor downtime, 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-o water is drained into the evaporator pan and
evaporated.
1.
The temperature display window will show the
actual temperature inside the machine.
NOTE: Actual temperatures of product may fluctuate
depending on a number of factors:
