AIR INTAKE PORT  
When a door is closed and opened soon, a door does not  
sometimes open this product.  
The warm air which went into the chamber is cooled down rapidly,  
and this is because air inside the chamber contracted.  
When a door is closed and opened soon, a door is easy to open  
with the following process.  
1. Turn the cap of the left side counterclockwise, and remove it.  
2. Put the air into the chamber from about ten for twenty seconds,  
and open a door.  
Cap  
3. Close a cap if a door opens.  
A door may not open in the above method when there are frost and ice in the air intake port. In that  
case, open a cap, and investigate the matter whether there is no frost inside the air intake port. Remove  
frost inside the air intake port in "the air intake port cleaning stick" of the accessories when there is frost.  
Clean a air intake port every month even when there is no frost inside the air intake port. Refer to page

SETTING OF COMPRESSOR DELAY TIME  
The delay time of high and low stage side compressor can be changed to reduce the load on the power  
line and to facilitate the start-up (reset) of the freezer after power failure.  
The example in the table is based on the assumption that the delay time is changed to 4 minutes.  
(The delay time is set in 3 minutes at the factory.)  
Note:  
• The setting range for delay time is between 3 and 15 minutes. The cool down of chamber temperature  
may be slow when the setting of delay time is over 5 minutes, depending on the installation environment.  
There is no need of changing the delay time when the capacity of power source is adequate.
