Climate Control Drawer

Built-In Refrigerators

How it Works

Control drawer

The Climate Control feature is a system of dampers, a fan, a temperature thermistor, a heater and a specially designed tray.

The Climate Control drawer can be used to chill items quickly, thaw foods quickly or store items at their optimum temperatures.

The drawer is tightly sealed to prevent the drawer’s temperature from causing temperature fluctuations in the rest of the refrigerator.

SELECT TEMP–Use this feature to store items at their optimum temperatures.

The CITRUS setting will maintain a drawer temperature of 43°F by cycling a small heater off and on as needed. The PRODUCE setting will maintain the drawer temperature at 34°F by drawing in additional cold air as needed. The MEAT setting will maintain the drawer temperature at 32°F by drawing in additional cold air as needed.

EXPRESS CHILL–This feature can be used to cool items in minutes, rather than hours. Extra cool air is circulated throughout the drawer. Once the cycle is complete, the drawer will revert to the pre-set fresh food temperature.

EXPRESS THAW–This feature thaws items in hours rather than days. Food is gently thawed in a cool environment by circulating

air throughout the drawer. Temperature is maintained in the drawer by cycling a small heater off and on as needed. Once the thaw cycle is complete, the pan will automatically adjust to a temperature of 32°F to store the food at its optimum temperature.

Climate Control Tray–Besides using the specially designed Climate Control tray when using the drawer, it can also be used as a chilled serving tray to keep foods cold.

NOTE: By turning the controls on the Climate Control drawer off, the drawer can be used as a standard sealed produce pan. The temperature inside the drawer will be the same as the fresh food compartment.

How to Use

1Empty the drawer. Place the tray in the drawer. Place the items on the tray and close the drawer completely.

2Select the Express Thaw,™ Express Chill™ or Select Temp™ pad. The display will come on. Press the pad until the light appears next to the desired setting. Use the chart on the next page to determine the best setting.

•To stop a feature before it is finished, press that feature’s pad until no options are selected and the display is off.

•During Express Thaw™ and Express Chill,™ the display on the controls will count down the time remaining in the cycle.

•After the Express Thaw™ cycle is complete, the drawer will reset to the MEAT setting (32°F) to help preserve thawed items until they are used.

•The displayed actual temperature of the Climate Control drawer may vary slightly from the SET temperature based on usage and operation environment.

NOTE: For food safety reasons, it is recommended that foods be wrapped in plastic wrap when using Express Thaw.™ This will help contain meat juices and improve thawing performance.
