KitchenAid Understanding Your Refrigerator Temperature Control Drawer for Optimal Cooling

Page 3

Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a lower (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

Additional Control Panel Features

Temp Mode

Press the °C button to select either Celsius or Fahrenheit temperature displays.

Turning Refrigerator On

If the refrigerator is off, press COOLING ON/OFF to turn the cooling on.

To turn your refrigerator off, press COOLING ON/OFF. Your refrigerator will not cool when the control is set to Off.

NOTE: Pressing the Cooling On/Off button does not disconnect power to the refrigerator. The interior lights will turn off if either compartment door is open for more than 10 minutes. Simply close and open the door to turn on the interior lights.

Max Cool

Use Max Cool to speed cooling when large grocery loads are added. Max Cool sets the refrigerator temperature to 34°F (1°C) and the freezer temperature to -6°F (-21°C) for 24 hours.

NOTE: While Max Cool is on, the display shows the Max Cool temperature set points. After 24 hours or when Max Cool is manually turned off, the set points will be returned to their previous setting.

Press MAX COOL to select this mode. Max Cool will stay on for 24 hours or until it is manually turned off.

Viewing Set Points

The factory recommended set points are 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer and 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator.

Set point range for the freezer: -6° to 6°F (-21°C to -14°C)

Set point range for the refrigerator: 32° to 46°F (0°C to 8°C)

To view the set point temperatures, press either the up or down button for the refrigerator or freezer temperature. The display will become brighter to indicate that you are viewing the set points. Five seconds after an adjustment is made, the display lights will dim and return to the actual temperature.

NOTE: During automatic defrost cycles, the actual temperature displayed may be higher than the set point. This is normal. The actual temperatures should return to the set points within a few hours following completion of the defrost cycle.

Adjusting Controls

The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked.

If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

Convertible Drawer Temperature Control

The control can be adjusted to properly chill meats or vegetables. The air inside the pan is cooled to avoid “spot” freezing and can be set to keep meats at the National Livestock and Meat Board recommended storage temperatures of 28° to 32°F (-2° to 0°C). The convertible drawer temperature control is preset to the PRODUCE setting.

To Store Meat:

Set the control to one of the three MEAT settings to store meat at its optimal storage temperature.

To Store Vegetables:

Set the control to PRODUCE to store vegetables at their optimal storage temperatures.

NOTE: If food starts to freeze, move the control to the left (less cold). Remember to wait 24 hours between adjustments.

Crisper Humidity Control

(on some models)

You can control the amount of humidity in the moisture-sealed crisper. Adjust the control to any setting between LOW and HIGH.

LOW (open) for best storage of fruits and vegetables with skins.

HIGH (closed) for best storage of fresh, leafy vegetables.
