The BOS maintains cooling bytiming the length of time the heat source is energized.When the refrigerator is operating in BOS, the lengthof the cooling cycle has to be regulated manuallyusing the TEMP switchbutton.When a colder temperature is desired, changing thetemperature setting to a higher number providesadditional cooling by lengthening the cooling cycle.For example, if the temperature setting is set to 5,raising the setting to 6 will lengthen the cooling cycle.When a warmer temperature is desired, changing thetemperature setting to a lower number shortens thecooling cycle. For example, if the temperature settingis set to 6, lowering the setting to 5 will shorten thecooling cycle.N61X/N81X Backup Operation.When the N61X/N81X controls shift to BOS operation,the ON LED (green) flashes once every three seconds.N62X/N82XN64X/N84X Backup OperationWhen the N62X/N82XN64X/N84X controls shift to BOSoperation, the temperature setting flashes for tenseconds when the TEMP button is pressed.
