いという効果が得られる。According to the present invention, the temperature setting data for each of the refrigerators input through the data setting device 12 is stored in the data setting device 1.
2 is stored only in the temperature setting data area corresponding to each cooling / heating mode combination currently set by each mode by the mode switching SW11 without requiring the input operation of the specification of the cooling / heating mode combination by each chamber by 2. As a result, not only can the conventional complicated temperature setting operation procedure be a common simple procedure irrespective of the combination of the cooling and heating modes, but also the new temperature setting data can be stored in the current cooling and heating mode. Since it is effective only for the mode combination, it is not necessary to reset data every time the mode is switched, and the effect that it is practically easy to use is obtained.
