  NOTE: Never tamper with or attempt to defeat the water level (safety) float switch system.

DEFROST
When the machine is operated at low temperatures (less than 18°C(64.4°F)), the surface of the evaporator may accumulate a layer of frost which would reduce the efficiency, of the machine. When this happens the machine will go into periodic defrost mode. The machine will operate in temperatures down to 5°C(41°F). The time taken to defrost may vary. If the machine freezes up, it should be turned off at the power supply and re-started. If the room temperature remains below 5°C (41°F) the machine should be switched off.
