OPERATING YOUR UNIT
Setting the Temperature Control
Your unit has only one control for regulating the temperature in the compartment. The temperature
control is located on the upper right hand side of the compartment.
The first time you turn the unit on, set the temperature control to “6”.
The range of the temperature control is from position "OFF” to “6”. After 24 to 48 hours, adjust the
temperature control to the setting that best suites your needs. The setting of “4” should be
appropriate for home or office use.
To turn the appliance off, turn the temperature control toOFF”.
NOTE:
Turning the temperature control to OFFposition stops the cooling cycle but does not shut off the
power to the unit.
If the unit is unplugged, has lost power, or is turned off, you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before
restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the unit will not start.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Power Failure
