OPERATION
Do not place hot pans on the blue ABS liner. Do
not throw items into the storage area. Failure
to heed these recommendations could result in
damage to the interior of the cabinet.
Temperature control instruction
Refrigerators: A thermostat located at the top of the
refrigerator, in the inset portion of the shroud assembly,
controls the temperature in the box. The factory setting for
the control is “4” and maintains about 38°F (3°C) in the box.
Set toward “1” for higher temperatures and toward “7” for
lower temperatures.
Freezers: A thermostat located at the top of the freezer,
in the inset portion of the shroud assembly, controls the
temperature in the box. The factory setting for the control
is “4” and maintains about -3°F (-18°C) in the box. Set
toward “1” for higher temperatures and toward “7” for lower
temperatures.
Refrigeration cycle
Refrigerators: During the refrigeration cycle the evaporator
fans will run continuously with the exception of door
openings. The door switch will activate the lights when
opened and turn power off to the evaporator fan motors.
1. The temperature control allows for the evaporator coil to
clear after each off cycle and before the compressor runs
again.
2. Anti-sweat heaters around each door opening operate
continually.
Freezers: During the refrigeration cycle the timer supplies
power to the temperature control (for power to the condensing
unit) and evaporator fan motors. The evaporator fans will run
at any time when the evaporator coil temperature is below
35°, they will also cycle off during door openings and during
a defrost period. The door switch will activate the lights when
opened and turn power off to the evaporator fan motors.
1. See Defrost Cycle
2. Anti-sweat heaters around each door opening operate
continually.
Defrost cycle - Freezers only
When defrost control goes into defrost, power to the
condensing unit and evaporator fans is interrupted and the
defrost heater is energized. The defrost heater warms the
evaporator coil thereby melting all frost accumulated during
the previous refrigeration cycle. Once all frost is eliminated,
the temperature of the coil continues to rise until it reaches
70°F (27°C). When this temperature is sensed by the defrost
limit control, the defrost control switches to refrigeration
mode.
If for any reason the timer remains in defrost for a period of
time greater than 40 minutes, a back-up defrost termination
is also provided which will terminate defrost at 80°F.
The defrost time can be changed in the field as follows: On
two and three door models push down and rotate pointer
on inside (2 hour) dial until it is opposite desired time
period (in minutes). On 1 door models, it can be changed
by adjusting the electric control switches 1 thru 4, “Defrost
Time” as shown on page 8 figure 1.
Freezer defrost control: All 6151XL-S & 6176XL-S freezers
are equipped with a Paragon 8145 defrost control for
automatic defrosting of the evaporator coil. All 6125XL-S
freezers are equipped with Air-O-Tronics time clock for
automatic defrosting of the evaporator coil. Air-O-Tronics
can not be adjusted to the time of day.
To set time of day (Two & three door models only): Grasp
the knob of the Paragon 8145 time clock dial in the center
of the inner (2 hour) dial and rotate it in a counter-clockwise
direction (see page 8 figure 2). This will revolve the outer
dial. Continue turning until the correct time of day on the
outer dial lines up with the time pointer. This operation
requires an initial start-up and any time thereafter when
there is an interruption of power to the freezer.
NOTE: There is no time adjustment for one
door models.
Operation (One door models): The electric defrost controller
is preset at the factory to provide a defrost cycle every 6
hours (4 defrosts per day). If it is necessary to change the
number of defrosts due to unusual operating conditions,
it can be accomplished by adjusting switches 1 thru 4 on
“Cycletime” dip switches.
Operation (Two & three door models): The Paragon 8145
timer is preset at the factory to provide four defrosts per day
at six hour intervals starting at 6:00 am. If it is necessary
to change the number of defrosts due to unusual operating
conditions it can be accomplished by placing the pins in
the outer dial at the appropriate time of the day that defrost
initiation is desired.
Even under the most severe operating conditions it should
not be necessary to set the back-up time greater than 60
minutes. Consult the factory if complete de-icing of the coil
is not accomplished within this time period.
