Defrost Function
1. The appliance will defrost automatically when it is operating at low temperatures. However, the
compressor and the fan will shut off if the environmental temperature is below 41 °F or above
100.4°F.
2. After the compressor ran for 30 minutes, the temperature sensor will detect the copper pipe
temperature. When the detected temperature is ≤30.2°F in the last 10 seconds, the compressor will
stop and start to defrost. The fan will keep working and the defrost indicator will turn on. When
the pipe temperature reaches 41°F or the defrost lasts for 15 minutes, the appliance quits the
defrosting.
Note: During the defrosting, the indicator light will not be off until the defrosting is over.
