Hey Tony,
Great to hear that the unit works...!
Okay, remember that an empty box will cycle more often than one that is full of product. On an empty box, I've seen them run 30 min to an hour on start up. When temperature is reached, around 35-40 degrees or so, then the unit will cycle as often as every 10 -15 minutes. When the box is filled with soda, the times will hold for longer periods. If we need more time between cut in and cut out, on the stat, use a jewelers screwdriver, turn the adjustment screw labeled "cut in" counter clockwise 1/4 turn. Run the machine another couple of hours. An ideal temperature difference should be 4-6 degrees.
Run the box down to 36 and warm up to 42, down to 34 and up to 40 and so on.
The actual times will vary. Temperature is what we want.
Call me if you have any trouble!
Eric

The USMC information was on my school's news this morning where I work and later on it was the "News Question of the Day". You email the library if the kids know the answer, and some of my second graders remembered it. We have school tomorrow, but a nice concert is put on and they recognize all the armed service branches, specially inviting those who serve and have served.
