Otherwise foods may dry up, pass their smells onto other foods, cause frost to develop, result in poor appliance performance, or increase the likelihood of cross‑contamination. Certain dressings and food ingredients, if not stored in sealed containers, may accelerate corrosion of the evaporator, resulting in failure. • Do not store items near the air outlet.
C. Controls and Adjustments 1. Temperature Display The cabinet temperature is displayed on the control module. See Fig. 5. The display default is °F, but it can be changed to read °C. To change, see "II.C.3. Changing the Temperature Display Scale (°F or °C)." Manual Defrost Button Control Module Up Button Compressor Icon ECO °C °F SC SC Button Defrost Icon V V Evaporator Fan Motor Icon Alarm Icon Down Button Front Panel Fig. 5 2.
3. Changing the Temperature Display Scale (°F or °C) To change the temperature display scale, follow the steps below.

E. Defrost 1. Refrigerators Refrigerators use an off-cycle, time-initiated defrost and defrost once every 2 hours. When the defrost thermistor warms to 40°F (4.4°C), defrost terminates. The minimum defrost time is 20 minutes and the maximum defrost time is 1 hour. Cabinet temperature is displayed during defrost. 2. Freezers Freezers use a heated, temperature/time-initiated defrost. Once the defrost thermistor cools to 32°F (0°C), the 4-hour cumulative compressor run timer starts.
G. Alarm Safeties Alarm signals are designed to protect the appliance and food product. These alarms give information or warnings in the event the appliance is operating out of acceptable parameters. Should one of the alarms occur, follow the instructions in the table below to address the alarm. The alarm code and alarm icon flash with audible alarm.

H. Safety Devices 1. Compressor External or Internal Overload If combined temperature/amperage value is above the limit specified by the compressor manufacturer, the compressor overload operates independently to turn off the compressor. The compressor overload de-energizes the compressor until the temperature/amperage value returns to an acceptable level. 2. Short-Cycle Protection There is a 2-minute minimum off-time and on-time for the compressor.
