damp or wet. Skin may adhere to these extremely
cold surfaces.

instrument in defrosting your refrigerator.

Temperature Control Dial
The temperature control dial has settings from
‘‘MIN’’ to ‘‘MAX’’ plus ‘‘OFF.’’
‘‘MIN’’ is the warmest.
‘‘MAX’’ is the coldest.
Initially set the temperature control dial at
‘‘MED’’ or at the midpoint.
After using the refrigerator for 24 hours, adjust the
temperature control to the setting that is best suited to
your needs. Turning temperature control dial to
‘‘OFF’’ stops cooling but does not shut off power to
the refrigerator.
NOTE: If this refrigerator is unplugged or turned off,
you must allow 3 minutes before restarting it or
plugging it back in. If you attempt to restart it in less
