SETTING THE TEMPERATURE 

For Dial Thermostats 

Your appliance may be controlled with a thermostat knob located inside the unit, 
towards the right-hand corner. Turn the knob clockwise from the STOP (0) position 
toward the higher numbers for colder temperatures.  
 
•  Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower temperatures (colder) 

in all compartments of the appliance. The temperature inside a refrigerator may 
even drop below 32°F. Use higher thermostat settings only when required or recommended. 
When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend a medium setting. 

•  Changes of the ambient temperature affect temperature in the interior of the appliance, so keep 

this in mind when choosing the setting of the thermostat knob. 

•  In STOP (0) position, the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), yet the 

power supply is not interrupted (the light is on when you open the refrigerator door). 

•  The temperatures in the refrigerator and in the freezer compartment also depend on how often 

you open the door. 

 

NOTE: 

In all small refrigerators and freezers without interior fans, temperatures are coldest near the 

bottom, and occasionally near the rear. Place contents accordingly.

  

 

•  For optimum temperature performance, it is recommended that this unit be at least 30% full 

during use. If you are only using this unit to store small loads, we recommend adding some 
water bottles or freezer packs to ensure temperature stability. 

 

For Digital Thermostats 

If you find that it is necessary to change the  
temperature setting for your digital-thermostat  
controlled appliance, please refer to the following 
instructions: 
 

To see the SET POINT 

Push and immediately release the SET key. The display will show the SET POINT value. Wait 5 
seconds and the probe value will display again. 
 

To Change the SET POINT 

Push and hold the SET key for more than 3 seconds to change the set point value. The value of the 
set point will be displayed, and the “snowflake” LED will start blinking. 
 

To Change the SET VALUE 

Push the UP or DOWN arrow to the desired setting. The new setting will be memorized after 15 
seconds, provided no other keys are pushed.  
 

NOTE:

 The minimum and maximum range of your thermostat is preset and locked by us, so it 

cannot easily be accidentally moved between freezer and refrigerator temperatures. To reset 
this range lock, either call us or find information on our website under the 

Troubleshooting

 

section.
