On the back of the cooler are the main power switches; one for heating and one for cooling. When heating or cooling is occurring, indicator lights on
the front panel will turn on. The hot temperature is fixed at a nominal 180°F
and is controlled with a thermostat mounted on the outside of the hot tank. The
cold temperature can be adjusted between 36°F and 54°F by a using a screw
driver on the slot on the back. Turn to the left to increase warmth and to the
right to increase cold. DO NOT TURN PAST THE STOPS. There is a cooling
