Temperature Control for models VT65M, VT65ML, VT65MBI and VT65MLBI
•
The temperature control is a dial-operated thermostat
located at the front of the freezer, in the upper right
corner above the door. When the freezer operates
automatically, the interior temperature is controlled by
the thermostat. Normally, the thermostat setting
should be in the middle, between max and min. (See
illustration.)

We recommend thermostat settings closer to max
only in cases when you want to accelerate cooling
such as before loading a number of unfrozen items.
Settings closer to min help save energy, provided that the freezer is not overloaded.

The super setting causes the compressor to run continuously and should be used
sparingly. This setting can be used when you want to freeze a large number of
unfrozen items or in case you want to deep-freeze already frozen items. The yellow
light next to the thermostat will be lit when the super setting is active. Remember to
turn the thermostat back to its normal setting after a short time.
