CORRECTION
• It's normal for the appliance to work lon-
ger under these conditions.
• It takes 4 hours for the appliance to cool
down completely.
• Warm food will cause appliance to run
more until the desired temperature is
reached.
• Warm air entering the appliance causes it
to run more. Open door less often.
• See "DOOR PROBLEMS".
• Turn control knob to a warmer setting.
Allow several hours for the temperature to
stabilize.
• Clean or change gasket. Leaks in door seal
will cause appliance to run longer in order
to maintain desired temperatures.
• Set control to a warmer setting. Allow sev-
eral hours for temperature to stabilize.
• Turn control to a colder setting. Allow several
hours for temperature to stabilize.
• Warm air enters the appliance every time
the door is opened. Open door less often.
