The temperature control is adjustable to provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfaction.

CARE & CLEANING Defrosting It is important to defrost and clean the freezer when ¼ to ½ inch of frost has accumulated. Frost may tend to accumulate faster on the upper part of the unit due to warm, moist air entering the freezer when the door is opened. Remove food and leave the lid open when defrosting the unit. If the frost is soft, remove it by using a plastic scraper.
