Thanks so much for asking, Sparkzle! This model is specifically designed for a food dish called Kimchi. Kimchi requires a special fermenting process that this refrigerator is designed to help with. Because of this, this model does not have standard temperature controls like other refrigerators. Instead, it has specialty features such as "Ferment" and "Preserve". You can read more about the operations of this refrigerator beginning on page 33 of the user manual (https://bit.ly/39JoQOV). ^Jecca
