foods inside. This will ensure the cabinet is thoroughly
chilled before food is put in.

•
position
"1" to
"7". Adjust the temperature control to the
setting that best suits your needs. The setting of
be appropriate for home or office refrigerator use.

If the unit is unplugged, loses power; you must wait 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the
•
unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start.
Large amounts of food will lower the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
