Check the controller brand first (Dixell, Elitech, or Carel) because the button labels differ.
On most Unifrost upright digital controllers, you will do one of these common sequences:
Press and hold SET (often 2 to 5 seconds) until the setpoint value appears or starts flashing.
Use ▲/▼ (or UP/DOWN) to adjust.
Press SET again to save, or wait 5 to 10 seconds for auto-save.
Do not change engineering parameters (menus like Pr1/Pr2, PAS, PS or similar). If you see a password prompt or parameter codes, exit and use the dedicated controller PDF for your exact model.
If the cabinet is used for HACCP-critical storage, verify the new setpoint with a calibrated probe after it has stabilised, rather than relying only on the display.
