• "Med" / "3-4": Normal operating temperature, suitable for most uses.
• "Max" / "5": Coldest setting, recommended for rapid cooling or when the ambient temperature is high.

The freezer temperature is generally regulated by the refrigerator's thermostat. Avoid frequent door openings to maintain stable temperatures.
