2. DEFROSTING (1) No defrosting operation is necessary No defrosting operation is necessary. As this machine is so designed that a built-in evaporator cools air and a fan circulates cooled air, neither the freezer nor the refrigerator is frosted, though the evaporator is frosted. The frosted evaporator is defrosted automatically due to the function of defrosting timer and heater, requiring no defrosting operation.

(2) Where is melted frost brought 1. Melted frost is brought into the evaporating pan at the back of the set and is evaporated here by the heat of compressor. 2. Be sure to use Evaporating pan as inserted so as to be level with the outer case.

(3) The following circuit diagrams in the table show automatic defrosting function of the refrigerator with timer and defrost thermostat. Operation 1. Cooling (Normal) Electric diagram

Description The integration timer integrates running time of the compressor. When it reaches cycle time of defrost timer, the timer contact is changed to start defrosting.

The timer contact is changed to start defrosting, the timer motor stops, and power is supplied to the defrost heater. It takes about 20 to 30 min. to defrost. When little frosted, the defrosting takes little time. When much frosted, the defrosting takes much time.
