YOUR APPLIANCE MAY HAVE A MECHANICAL (DIAL) OR DIGITAL THERMOSTAT.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR BOTH FOLLOW:
MECHANICAL THERMOSTAT INSTRUCTIONS
The refrigerator is controlled with a thermostat knob located inside the unit, towards the upper
Temperature Controls
•Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower temperatures (colder) in all compartments of the appliance. On the coldest settings temperatures in some spots of the interior of the appliance may even drop below 32°F. Use higher thermostat settings only when required or recommended. When the ambient temperature is normal, we recommend the medium setting.
•Changes of the ambient temperature affect temperature in the interior of the appliance so choose a correct setting of the thermostat knob, depending on your ambient conditions.
•In the STOP (0) position the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), yet power supply is not interrupted (the light is on, when you open the refrigerator door).
•The temperature in the refrigerator and in the freezer compartment also depend on how often you open the door.
-In all small refrigerators and freezers without interior fans, temperatures are coldest near the bottom, and occasionally near the rear. Place contents accordingly. It is best not to operate these units mostly empty. If temperatures are erratic, try putting some water bottles or freezer packs inside to create a load for the compressor.
DIGITAL THERMOSTAT INSTRUCTIONS
If you find that it is necessary to change the temperature setting for your digital thermostat controlled appliance, please refer to the following instructions. The front panel of the thermostat is illustrated here:

Note: The minimum and maximum range of your thermostat is preset and locked by us; so it cannot easily be accidentally moved between freezer and refrigerator temperatures. To reset this range lock, either call us or find information on our website under troubleshooting.
