Functional description of NFG 309
Ventilator in evaporator casing (3 in one frame) only operates when the door is closed or
when pressing and holding the door switch. A bimetal thermostat fitted on the evaporator
ensures that the ventilators do not start until the evaporator is cold. App. -2˚C. Therefore, it
is to be anticipated that it takes app. 20 minutes before the ventilators are operating after the
first start-up with a warm upright, also, it can take up to 7 minutes after defrosting has been
carried out.
The ventilators in the motor compartment (4 in one frame) are operating continuously. When
installing the upright it is to be ensured that the heat from the compressor can circulate
unhindered, as described in the instruction manual.
Defrosting is carried out at intervals of 12 hours of compressor operation. When defrosting is
started, the timer cuts out the power for the compressor, cuts in the power for the heating
element and the timer motor stops operating.
The heating element is fitted below the back part of the evaporator. A bimetal thermostat
fitted on the front of the evaporator cuts out the power for the heating element at +13˚C and
defrosting stops. Hereafter, the timer motor starts operating. This occurs after app. 15-30
minutes heat-up depending on the amount of frost on the evaporator. When the timer motor
has operated app. 6 minutes, the compressor starts.
Door heating. A bimetal thermostat fitted on the evaporator ensures that there is no heat in
the glass unless the evaporator is cold. The bimetal thermostat cuts in at -2˚C and cuts out
at +13˚C.
