Answer:

General Temperature Setting Information

• In products with an electronic control panel, the refrigerator set to 3°C and the freezer set to -18°C are ideal food storage temperatures.
• Storing food above 7°C is not safe.
• Always allow 24 hours for unit to reach new temperature setting.
• If the unit will not maintain set temperature, refer to Sub-Zero Condenser Cleaning Troubleshooting for more information.

Electronic Control Panel Display Temperature Ranges

The temperature range in a Sub-Zero with an electronic control panel is 1° - 7°C in the refrigerator and -20° to -15°C in the freezer.

• In units with an electronic control panel, the factory settings of 3°C in a refrigerator and -18°C in a freezer are ideal food storage temperatures.
• Setting the temperature higher or lower than factory settings causes the unit to run more or less, according to set temperature.
• It is not possible to set a temperature higher or lower than the range listed above.
• If the control panel does not respond, contact Factory Certified Service for troubleshooting.
• Wine Storage products have different temperature ranges (4°C - 18°C) to preserve wine, see Wine Serving Guide forwine-specific temperature suggestions..
