    MICOM FUNCTION & PCB CIRCUIT EXPLA N A TI O N This description is made for GA- B359 , B399 . Please refer to overall PCB circuits for other models. 1 FUNCTION EXPOSITION 1) FUNCTION • The initial Temperature of the Freezer Compartment is -19°C respectively. You can now adjust the temperature of the compartments as you want.
  • Page 20 3) SUPER FREEZING (1) It is the function which increases the cooling speed of freezer by continuously operating compressor and freezer fan. When it’s button is pressed, GRAPHIC is on. (2) Whenever selection switch is pressed, selection/release (GR APHIC on/off) changes in turn. (3) If power is on after power cut, SUPER FREEZING function is canc eled.
  • Page 21 5 ) DEFROSTING (1) If the accumulated time for the operation of the COMPRESSOR is meet with 7 hours, the DEFROSTING HEATER is started. (2) The rst defrosting is performed at 4 hours(compressor ON) later since the power is on. (3) If DEFROST SENSOR is over 7°C during DEFROSTING, end the operation of DEFROSTING with DEFROSTING HEATER paused, And after 7 minutes, the operation for the freezing is started.
