CLIMATE CONTROL DRAWER
How it Works
The Climate Control feature is a system of dampers, a
fan, and a temperature thermistor. 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 39-47°F (3.9 - 8.3°C). The
PRODUCE setting will maintain the drawer temperature at
31-38°F (-0.6 - 3.3°C). The MEAT setting will maintain the
drawer temperature at 27-37°F (-2.8 - 2.8°C).
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 OFF mode.
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 27–37°F (-2.8 - 2.8°C) to store the food at
its optimum temperature.
NOTE: When the controls on the Climate Control drawer
are turned off, the drawer will maintain temperatures at
42-48°F (5.6 - 8.9°C).
How to Use
1 Empty the drawer. Place the items in the drawer.
2 Select 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 (27-37°F [-2.8
- 2.8°C]) 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.
