Merchandiser temperature is maintained by an electronic thermostat that cycles 

the condensing unit on and off automatically. On auto-defrost (AD) models, the 

electronic temperature control is located on the left end under the hood on outdoor 

units and to the left of the condensing unit on indoor skirt hood models.
Minimal temperature adjustment (5 degrees F min/max adjustment) is possible 

by pressing the up or down arrow buttons for colder or warmer temperatures 

since the electronic control is pre-set at the factory. DO NOT adjust the thermostat 

without consulting Polar Temp.
The electronic control is factory set with a computer at the factory therefore there 

is no need to make field adjustments. The digital display on your new Polar Temp 

Ice Merchandiser will show fault codes and other information as described below:

“def” on the digital display means the refrigeration system is in 
“defrost cycle”

“E13” on the digital display means “communication error” (cable 
between the digital readout  and t thecontrol relay is faulty) 

“VH” indicates “voltage high”
“VL” indicates “voltage low”
Two buttons on the digital display will do the following:
Pressing both buttons at the same time for 10 seconds will shut the 
refrigeration system “OFF” (“---“ shown on the digital display)
Pressing the top button for 10 seconds will give you the option of 
temperature display in centigrade (C°) or Fahrenheit (Fº)
Pressing the bottom button for 10 seconds will put the refrigeration 
system into a manual defrost (“def” shown on the digital display
The system will automatically return to refrigeration cycle after 
temperature 50º F or 15 to 20 minutes is satisfied, whichever comes 
first. The system will go into defrost every 60 minutes of “compressor” 
run time.
If the electrical power supply is interrupted the electronic control will 
always start automatically after a short delay in a new refrigeration 
cycle.

“E01” on the digital display means “faulty air sensor”
“E02” on the digital display means “faulty defrost sensor”
“E03” when used is faulty “condenser air sensor”
