Forced defrost will terminate when defrost 

terminator opens (completion of cycle 

defrost) or if forced pull-down is initiated or if 

there is a long power loss..

To enter Showroom mode: 

Press and hold the “ACTIVATE 

CONTROLS” pad. While 

holding, press and hold the 

“HIGHER” and “ALARM OFF” 

pad simultaneously.  Continue 

holding until three beeps 

are heard and then "SHOW"

Refrigerator and 38

O

F or Freezer and 

0

O

F. Whichever section was active prior 

to to showroom mode being entered will 

determine which one is displayed.

When forced defrost is initiated the 

temperature numbers are replaced with 

"dEF" in the seven segment displays, as

displayed "dEF" will again be replaced with 

displayed temperature numerals.

Showroom Mode 

To exit Showroom mode: Press and hold the 

“ACTIVATE CONTROLS” pad. While holding, 

press and hold the “HIGHER” and “ALARM 

OFF” pad simultaneously. Continue holding 

until three beeps are heard. The display will 

revert to normal operation

To enter Forced defrost, first 

press and release "ACTIVATE 

CONTROLS", then press and hold 

"HIGHER" pad, then press and hold 

"DISPLAY OFF" pad until you get an 

audible consisting of three beeps.

This causes the control to 

immediately suspend all 

temperature control operations 

and start a defrost cycle, regardless of 

compressor dwell time and defrost start delay.

If defrost terminator temperature is satisfied 

defrost heaters will come on at this time for a 

normal defrost cycle.

To enter Forced pull-down, first 

press and release "ACTIVATE 

CONTROLS", then press and hold 

"LOWER" pad, then press and hold 

"DISPLAY OFF" pad also until you 

get an audible consisting of three 

beeps.

This causes the control to 

immediately energize the 

appropriate outputs in an effort to reach both 

of the cut-out temperatures (refrigerator and 

freezer). 

Forced Pull-Down (Forced compressor 

start)

This function will ignore compressor dwell 

time and cause immediate compressor start 

up in the high speed mode (115HZ).

Forced pull-down will terminate after both 

cut-out temperatures are met, or if a defrost  

or forced defrost is initiated, or if an extended 

power loss occurs.
