Setting “0”: Unit Off
-
Setting “1”: Unit On – Warmest Temperature

During high ambient temperatures e.g. on hot summer days, it may be necessary to
set the thermostat to the coldest setting (position 7). This may cause the
compressor to run continuously in order to maintain a low temperature in the
cabinet.
