Remarks:

• The lowest temperature, which may be achieved inside the mini refrigerator, depends on ambient temperature and on the volume of food to be cooled. Food may be cooled to temperature up to 18^ lower than ambient temperature.
• Food may be heated and kept at temperature of about 50 - 60^ in the heating mode.
• To ensure maximum effect, we recommend that you insert cooled/heated food into the refrigerator depending on the used function (cooling/heating).
• After using, we recommend that you switch-over the both switches (A3, A4) into the „OFF“ position.
