ULIN_0229_A
Figure 3
Adjust the temperature by turning t he numbered dial (Figure 3, 1) in small increments.
Many factors can affect the internal temperatures of the cabinet. They include:
• Temperature setting.
• Ambient temperature where installed.
675F
• The number of times and length of time the door is opened and closed.
• Installation in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
Normal Operating Sounds
All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to provide high ther mal efficiency and maximum sound reduction for its internal working components. In spite of this technology, your model may make sounds that are unfamiliar.
Normal operating sounds may be more noticeable because of the unit’s environment. Hard surfaces such as cabinets, wood/vinyl/til ed fl oor s and pan eled walls ha ve a tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises.
Common refrigeration components , and a brief description of the normal operating sounds they make, are listed below. NOTE: Your product may not contain all of the components listed.
• Compressor: The compressor makes a hum or pulsing sound that may be heard when it operates.
• Evaporator: Refrigerant flowing through an evaporator may sound like boiling liquid.
• Condenser Fan: Air moving through a condenser may be heard.
• Automatic Defrost/Drain Pan: Water may be heard dripping or running into the drain pan when the unit is in the defrost cycle.
Outdoor, Marine and RV Usage
Some U-Line models are designed to operate in outdoor, marine and RV environments. For best p erfor m anc e, keep the unit out of direct sunlight.
