1. I am planning for a trip in my Airstream. How
should I get the refrigerator cooled down?
Answer: Turn the power on and set the thermostat
between 3 and 4� You can make further adjustments
to suit your personal requirements after the box has
cooled down� Allow the refrigerator to come down to
temperature before loading with product� Setting the
thermostat to a higher setting, e�g� 7, will not decrease
the time required for the unit to cool down to its normal
operating temperature� Normal refrigerator operating
temperatures are 34ºF to 40ºF;
