DEFROST AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL
SETTINGS
The GT cabinet has a temperature control that is adjustable from #1
(warmest setting) to #9 (coldest setting). Turn the control knob in
line with the punch mark to the desired setting. The temperature
control is located near the condensing unit at the bottom of the
cabinet.
The unit defrost is controlled by a timer in the
control box. After removing the condenser grille,
the control box will slide out until the defrost timer
is visible. The factory set defrost is two times in 24
hours with a maximum timed interval of 30
minutes. The unit contains a defrost termination
sensor so in actual use the defrost time will be less
than 30 minutes in most cases. The timer can be
converted to operate for a timed defrosts
termination by disconnecting the blue/white from
the X terminal. NOTE: When disconnected, it is
recommended that the terminal be cut off of the
blue/white wire and the wire end be capped with a
wire nut.
The defrost time is set by switching a white key from the
center to the outside edge of the dial. Each key is 15
minutes so two successive keys must be switched outward for a 30 minute maximum time defrost. If it is
noted that more defrost time is needed, then switch outward the third successive key for a 45-minute
maximum timed defrost. If another defrost in 24 hours is needed then more keys can be switched outward as
needed. If possible, try to keep defrosts evenly spaced in a 24 hour period.
The current time can be set by turning the outer dial in the direction of the arrow until the correct clock time is
shown and the small arrow aligns with either the AM or PM scale.
NOTE: The cabinet serial number for the GT is on the data plate located on the end opposite the
condensing unit.
