OPERATING YOUR UNIT
Setting the Temperature Control
•
Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature in the
compartment. The temperature control is located on the lower right
hand side of the compartment.
•
The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to
“MAX”.
•
The range of the temperature control is from position "OFF” to
“MAX”. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the temperature control to the
setting that best suites your needs. The setting of “NORMAL” should
be appropriate for home or office use.
•
To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control to ”OFF”.
NOTE:
Turning the temperature control to “OFF” position stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the
power to the unit.
If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start.

Power Failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the temperature of your
unit if you minimize the number of times the door is opened. If the power is going to be off for a longer
period of time, you need to take the proper steps to protect your food.
