The following behavior is enforced:
- At power up, the initial Defrost Interval (dI) does not have a Defrost Cycle (dFt).
- Subsequent defrost intervals (dI) begin with the selected dFt value.
- All defrost intervals have the same length.
To set up a regular or timed defrost cycle:
- Select a dI value between 2 hours and 24 hours. Note: A dI value of 0 indicates no defrost interval.
- Select a dFt value between 1 minute and 99 minutes. See Figure 1. Figure 1. Typical passive Defrost Cycle behavior
