2. Make sure condenser is clean.
   • Refer to Sub-Zero Condenser Cleaning Instructions.
3. If unit is overloaded with food items or was recently loaded with food items, it may take up to 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.
   • Rearrange food items if necessary.
4. Repeatedly opening unit door or drawer may cause temperatures to fluctuate.
   • Leave door or drawer closed for temperatures to stabilize.
5. Leaving door or drawer open for an extended period of time will cause temperatures to rise.
   • Close door or drawer for temperatures to stabilize.
   • Depending on model, shown temperature may raise 1°F for every minute that door or drawer is open; this is considered normal.
