The recommended set points should be correct for normal 

household use. The controls are set correctly when milk or 

juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

NOTE:

 Areas such as a garage or porch, may experience 

hotter or colder temperatures and higher humidity than inside 

the home. You may need to adjust the temperature away from 

the recommended set points to accommodate for these 

conditions. 
Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the 

temperatures before other adjustments are made.
