Temperature Control
Freezing temperature selection is made by
setting the control from to (coldest).
If you want colder or warmer temperatures,
adjust the control one step at a time.
Allow several hours after each one-step
adjustment for the freezer temperature 
to stabilize.
Turning the control to the OFF position
stops the cooling process but does not 
shut off power to the freezer.
