OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Temperature Control
•
Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is
located on the top left hand corner of the refrigerator compartment
•
The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control knob to “7” and run for at least 2
hours before putting foods inside. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly chilled before food is put
in.
• The range of the refrigerator temperature control is from position "1" the warmest to "7" the coldest.
Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of “4” should be
appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.
• To turn off the refrigerator, please turn the temperature control knob to “0”. Please note that turning
the temperature control knob to “0” position stops the cooling cycle, but does not disconnect the
r supply to the refrigerator
