Set the thermostat to the required setting (The temperature selector is
situated to the right of the icebox, setting 0 = off, setting 3 or 4 are most

NOTE: During periods of high ambient temperatures (ie hot sunny days)
it may be necessary to set the temperature to a higher setting than is
normally used.
Operation

pumped around the cooling circuit, this, along with the slight hum of the
compressor is normal and will stop and start as the thermostat operates.

internal temperature. After power is restored it may take some time to
return to the set temperature level.
