E. Controls and Adjustments
1. Guarded Access Menu
Three settings can be viewed and adjusted from this menu: temperature setpoint, defrost
frequency, and temperature display scale. To enter the guarded access menu, press
and hold the up and down buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. The current setpoint
temperature is displayed.
a) Temperature Setpoint
The refrigerator factory default setting is 36°F (2°C).
The freezer factory default setting is -3°F (-19°C).
The temperature setpoint is the value for the average cabinet temperature. The
temperature differential for the compressor to turn on and off is ±3°F of the setpoint. For
example, setpoint = 36°F, compressor on at 39°F, compressor off at 33°F. If necessary,
adjust the setpoint temperature as follows:
1) Press and hold the up/down arrows simultaneously for 3 seconds. The current setpoint
temperature will be displayed.
2) To change the setpoint, press the up/down arrows until the desired value is displayed.
For refrigerators the cabinet temperature is adjustable between 36°F and 50°F
(2°C and 10°C). The factory default is 36°F (2°C). For freezers the cabinet temperature
is adjustable between -10°F and 25°F (-23°C and -3°C). The factory default is -3°F
(-19°C).
3) To save the value, press "ENTER" repeatedly until you have cycled through the menu
and the appliance returns to the normal display mode. If you do not cycle through the
menu and no button is pressed in 15 seconds, the display will return to normal and the
setpoint will remain unchanged.
b) Defrost Frequency
(1a) Defrost for Refrigerators - Control Board Revision 22 and earlier
This appliance uses an off-cycle defrost. When a sensor in the evaporator coil reaches
13°F (-10°C) (8°F, (-13°C) for Pass Thru) the appliance enters defrost. When the sensor
reaches 40°F (4°C) the appliance ends defrost. No adjustment is available or needed
from the control board.
The cabinet temperature is displayed, even during defrost.
(1b) Defrost for Refrigerators - Control Board Revision 23 and later
This appliance uses an off-cycle defrost. When a sensor in the evaporator coil reaches
13°F (-10°C) (8°F, (-13°C) for Pass Thru) the appliance enters defrost. When the sensor
reaches 40°F (4°C) the appliance ends defrost. The cabinet temperature is not displayed
during defrost, "dEF" is displayed in its place. This revision also feature an adjustable
time-initiated defrost along with the normal temperature-initiated defrost.
The time-initiated defrost is factory set at 0. Before changing this setting, contact
the Hoshizaki Technical Support Department for recommendations. To change the
time-initiated defrost, follow the steps in "(3) Defrost Frequency Adjustment" later in this
section.
