TEMPERATURE SELECTION AND MONITORING
Your appliance may have a mechanical (dial) or digital thermostat. Listed below are instructions for
both mechanical and digital thermostats.
Manual (dial) Thermostats (on some models)
Your appliance may be controlled with a thermostat knob located inside or in the
rear of the unit, towards the right-hand corner. Turn the knob clockwise from the
STOP (0) position toward the higher numbers for colder temperatures.
Setting the Temperature:
• Higher settings on the knob (higher numbers) mean lower temperatures (colder) in all
compartments of the appliance. The temperature inside a refrigerator may even drop below
32°F. Use higher thermostat settings only when required or recommended. When the ambient
temperature is normal, we recommend a medium setting.
• Changes of the ambient temperature affect temperature in the interior of the appliance, so keep
this in mind when choosing the setting of the thermostat dial.
• At STOP (0) position, the appliance does not operate (the cooling system is switched off), but the
power supply is not interrupted.
• The temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer compartments 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.
NOTE: For optimum temperature performance, it is recommended that your unit be at least 30% full
during use. If you are only using this unit to store small loads, we recommend adding some
water bottles or freezer packs to ensure temperature stability.
Digital Thermostats (standard on all refrigerators, ACF48W models, and
VT65MLADA models)
If you find it necessary to change the temperature setting for your digital thermostat, please refer to
the following instructions.
NOTE: The minimum and maximum range of your thermostat is preset and locked so it cannot
easily be accidentally moved outside of the recommended temperature ranges.
To See the Set Point
The default display for your digital thermostat is the internal cabinet temperature. To view the unit’s
set point, push and immediately release the SET key. The display will flash, showing the set point
value. If no other actions are taken in 6 seconds, the display will revert to the internal air
temperature.
To Change the Set Point
While the set point value is blinking, press the UP or DOWN arrow to change the set point to your
desired temperature. Press the SET button again to exit the adjustment. The display will revert to the
internal air temperature.
NOTE: The temperature displayed on the digital thermostat is the internal air temperature. Your
alarm/thermometer (installed on the left in the control panel) provides a temperature readout
based on the buffered probe in order to better simulate the temperature of what is actually
stored inside the unit (as opposed to the air temperature itself). As a result, these readings
may not always display the same temperature reading.
