Setting the Temperature Control
Your refrigerator has a separate control for regulating the temperature for each section independently.
The temperature control is located at the rear of each section (refrigerator / freezer). (See the graphics
shown above).

The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “MAX” in refrigerator section and
“MAX” in freezer section.

The range of the temperature controls are from position “OFF” to “MAX” the coldest in refrigerator
section and from position “MIN” the warmest to “MAX” the coldest. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the
temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “3” in refrigerator section
and the mid range between “MIN” and “MAX” in freezer section should be correct for home or office
refrigerator use.

IF THE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED, HAS LOST POWER, OR IS TURNED OFF, YOU MUST WAIT 3
