User Manual

Electrical

• Please ensure that the required voltage is being supplied at all times.  
•  The unit should be plugged into a grounded and properly-sized electrical outlet with appropriate 

over-current protection.  Please refer to the electrical requirements on the unit’s nameplate.

• The unit should have its own dedicated outlet.
• Do not use extension cords.  
• Ensure the unit is not resting on or against the electrical cord.
• If the unit is not in use for a long period of time, please unplug the unit from the outlet.
• To avoid shock and fire hazards, do not plug in or unplug the unit with wet hands.
•  After unplugging the unit, wait at least 10 minutes before plugging it back in.  Failure to do so could 

cause damage to the compressor.

Adjusting the Temperature 

Your new refrigerator or freezer is already factory-set to run at optimum temperatures for food 
safety and should require no adjustments. 

Refrigerators are set to cycle between a minimum temperature of 33 degrees Fahrenheit and a 
maximum temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Freezers are set to cycle between a minimum temperature of -5 degrees Fahrenheit and a maximum 
temperature of 2 degrees Fahrenheit.  

Adjusting the temperature changes the minimum temperature your unit will run at. Your unit will not 
run constantly at this setting. To change it, follow these instructions:

Digital Control Units
• Hold “SET” for 1 sec. The display will flash the current minimum temperature.
• Use the arrow buttons to adjust the minimum temperature you want it to run at.
• Press “SET” again to save your settings

Always remember to calculate the differential if you change the minimum temperature setting. The 
cabinet temperature will fluctuate up to +7 degrees over your set minimum temperature as the 
compressor runs and shuts off. Setting the temperature too high will result in unsafe maximum 
temperatures and possible health code violations.
