Some Upright Models)

The electromechanical temperature control is located in-
side the freezer on upright models, and on the left exterior

atures. However, the temperature control is adjustable to 
provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfac-
tion. To adjust the temperature setting, turn the tempera-
ture control knob clockwise or counter clockwise. Allow
