Adjusting the Control
The convertible control comes preset at the lowest meat setting.
To change a control setting: Move the control to the right (colder) or to the left (less cold) as desired.
To store vegetables: Set the control to VEG (all the way to the left) to store vegetables at their optimal storage temperatures (which need to be warmer than those for meat).
IMPORTANT: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left (less cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments. Doing so gives the temperature of the food time to change.
