1. Choose freezer thermistor temperature display by
pressing Freezer Temp pad. Freezer temp
indicator light will glow. Temperature display will
show thermistor temperature in binary coded
decimal (BCD) format. Indicator lights 1 through 4
represent tens digit with 1 being most significant

2. Choose refrigerator thermistor temperature display
by pressing Ref Temp pad. Refrigerator
temperature indicator light will glow. Temperature
display will show thermistor temperature in BCD as
described above.
Electronic control value column is calculated in units
of °F. Conversion is °C = (°F - 32)/1.8.
Mode B Functions
